Up until this trip I hadn't had the chance to photograph a Willet but again this morning just after sunrise a pair were on the beach just in front of my sister's apartment.  They are a dull looking bird as I have already said but not without their charm not least their very confiding behaviour.  To get these photos today I had to go a little hard core.  I stripped down to my underwear and waded in to the surf so that i had the sun coming over my shoulder.  This gave me good light that flooded on to the bird.  First one was joined by it's partner, I guess that this was the same birds that I had seen last Thursday but I will never know for sure. While I  in the warm surf with the camera on a tripod, a Pelican and an Osprey were fishing just behind me but I would have been looking in to the sun if I were to try to photograph them.

Later on in the day I I took my POV underwater camera to film the Tarpon again and this time with better light I did better and also filmed some very interesting other fish.  I will hope to post that movie via You tube tomorrow.  At 5 my nephew Geoff and I are on the way out to the Everglades to cruise around in the "Janoe".  Hopefully I will have some good photos to post of this adventure, in the meantime with "11 local approaching", I must get my head well and truly down or I will be fit for nothing in the morning.
