Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

A Day of Great White Egrets at Lodmoor Reserve
Five Great White Egrets descended on the Lodmoor Reserve while I was there.
They settled on a bank which was some way away from my position, it was difficult to get the five in the shot. In the middle of the shot, not to be left out, was one of the resident Little Egrets.
Eventually the Great Whites dispersed around the Reserve.
