During a recent trip to Orlando for the
Invictus Games some downtime allowed for a bit of birding, both in a pond behind the hotel and out on Lake Cypress Gator hunting.

Got a lovely view of an Osprey coming into its nest over Lake Cypress.
In the lake behind the hotel, a largely urban area but obviously with a healthy fish/amphibian supply to satisfy the Egrets and Ibis.

The were plenty of lizards, a frog and even what I believe is a Banded Water Snake by the pool.
The camera trap has been out a few nights this week, although the one night I missed putting it out two adult badgers turned up with a young badger cub! Curses. But the trap has offered interesting information about visiting habits and whilst it's difficult to ascertain it is the same badgers returning each time they are averaging five visits a night between 9:45 pm and 3:00 am.
