Spoonbills!











A visit to the Spit hide with the 'big' lens enabled a few shots of the two Spoonbills out in the middle of the harbour.....they were very active and after preening were displaying....not sure whether aggressively or otherwise!







They are elegant birds and I couldn't resist taking lots of photos .Just a pity they weren't a lot closer to get some good quality pictures.Photographers are never satisfied.


Possibly ringed in Hungary.




Just look at those outspread wings and those rings !!

A fabulous bird..
...and nearby Greater Black Backed Gull...another ringed bird


Curlew on the mud....pondering.


..and on my return a Meadow Pipit in the 'old 'Pagham Spit car park...I liked the knotty wood!
