January 2007
We remained in the marina at St Augustine for a whole month until the end of the first week in January and had a diver clean off the bottom of the boat. One of best walks from there was across the high ICW bridge to the barrier island next to the sea inlet. As ever there was amazing wildlife to see including pelicans, egrets and a green heron. We last saw a green heron when we first came to Florida in the spring and it was very special to manage to photograph this one!
The pelicans were stalking the fisherman constantly in the hope of being given some unwanted morsel. Sadly if the pelicans eat pieces of large fish given to them by anglers then they have no way of dealing with larger bones and they die. One of the snowy egrets let me approach within about three feet and I was able to take lots of great close-ups.
