Would really love to see some of the birds you see when they are in camera range.

I too saw:-<br /> Avocets [c50] but ours have slightly different markings more pronounced back and white. Dunlins,Greenshanks and redshanks, Lesser spotted redshank, lapwings, oystercatchers, plus many geese and a variety of ducks. There was talk of a Glossy Ibis visiting the area, but didnt see this. Thankfully no alligators though. My friend has a Swarovski scope which was fantastic as the birds were out of binocular range. The highlight for me was a Cettis Warbler, a first. Unfortunatly no pictures as my lens is not up to it otherwise I would have done a post.<br />Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-67255861765507410482016-03-13T11:56:11.970-04:002016-03-13T11:56:11.970-04:00Well Im trying very hard cause the ebird police al...Well Im trying very hard cause the ebird police all always on my case!

The reddish egrit is beautiful I have never seen one before. I haven't seen lots of the birds you have captured in your photos.
