Egrets and spoonbills

Lovely views of Great Egrets at dawn earlier this week, complemented the following day with a small flock of spoonbills, five Yellow-billed Spoonbills with a single Royal Spoonbill.

    How graceful they look! Interesting to see that the Royal Spoonbill mixes it with the Yellow=billed spoonbills, albeit out in front! Royalty showing off?

    Your photos brought real joy this morning!

    Many thanks.

    Hi Geoff
    great pictures 👍 👍
    Our spoonbills look different. We just blogged about spoonbills in breeding plumage.
