Spoonbill

Thank you for the lovely comments and stars for my last blip.
Today I went with a friend to  the RSPB reserve in Burton. It was a beautiful day and we saw lots of different birds. We had heard that there were 3 spoonbills there at the moment and we were thrilled to see this one high up in the trees quite a long way away. There was another behind it which occasionally flapped its wings but we never saw it properly. The extra photo is of it preening and shows its 'spoonbill' off well.
