The Mangrove Boardwalk has, so far, come up with something new every time I’ve been there. For instance, recent highlights were egrets and herons. On Sunday we were treated to a very rare sight: A bar-sided skink! They do live in the mangroves but are rarely seen. This one sat in the dappled sunlight, enjoying the warmth, for quite some time. Enough time to switch to a telephoto lens and set up a tripod.

While the skink was the highlight, we saw plenty of other flora and fauna. Enjoy this selection!
