Spoonbills

The white birds are spoonbills, at the Parc ornithologique du Marquenterre, in the Somme estuary. If you go large you can see the spoon shaped bill of the bird in the centre. Had to wait for ages for any of them to show their faces; they were quite happily snoozing.

This is apparently one of only two bird reserves in France, but worth a visit.
