That's beautiful. Wish we had white spoonbills (to complement our pink ones).

Thanks sparker. I'm the opposite, I've never seen a pink one!

Thanks jgrussell. I have been trying to get one for a while now. Every time I see them they are a distance away on the mudflats during the early morning light (or lack of) and it has been an elusive catch for me. I got lucky when this one flew right by when I was in a park looking for birds feeding in the flowering gum trees.
