Bath Day For Spoonie

Well I went back to the salt marsh this afternoon to see if the two spoonbills were still hanging around.
Turned out that only one was there, the older one, and his young friend was nowhere to be seen.
But to our surprise and delight, spoonie decided that today was bath day.
It was great fun watching him splash around in the water acting like a kid having a wonderful day at the beach!
Extra shows a young alligator in the background that was also enjoying the whole show.
Also more photos from today's performance can be seen here and included there is a short 15 second video showing the bathing action.
