Florida Wildlife - Birds, Mammals, Reptiles & Amphibians

As our villa is located in a semi rural setting overlooking conservation wetlands we are very lucky to have a wide range of wildlife right on our doorstep. We have always had a general interest in the animals and birds around us and love just sitting by the pool and watching all the activity in the conservation area that the back of our villa looks out on to.

On this page we have put some of the photos we have taken of all the animals and birds etc. that we have seen around our villa and managed to photograph.
