Ed, you keep amazing me with your images. This is a very good capture of a fishing spoonbill. Don't know what it is, but think the birds know all that you will only 'shoot' them with your camera are as no one is flying away. Well done again!
Regards, Cornelius.

I think it's trying to smile, but it can't be easy with that beak. Nice shot of that crazy looking bird. It's been a while since I have seen a picture of one of these. Nice reflections in the water, too. Good work.

The only spoonbills we have around here are fish. I would like to see this Spoonbill versur our Spoonbill in the water ring. It would be quite a battle.

This is the first one of these I have ever seen Huck. Thanks for sharing.

Another good capture Ed. Now here is a bird I know. In Cairns they are always feeding along the shore line. Nice work. Lyn.

I've never seen a Spoonbill in person, so this is a treat for my eyes. I love the reflection. Very nicely captured Ed.

That sure is a pink bird! Such an interesting looking character he is too. I bet you felt good about finding him.
