17 april 2011 - milnerton lagoon |
We decided to head down to Milnerton Lagoon this morning as the tides were going to be on our side for a little bit of early morning photography. Unfortunately, there was a slight breeze which made conditions not totally ideal, but we still managed to get a few reasonable shots. Birdwise, there was nothing out of the ordinary to report. |
