    Gorgeous. They look just like are roseate spoonbills except for, well, the color. :D Love the reflections and good job on the exposure.

    ...... a nice bit of glass, can be a tad slow shooting in the shadows, but overall great value

    Nice. :D I love spoon bills, they're so comical. The ones I've seen in this continent generally have pink bills, so yours are quite different.
