It was a normal landing, for a Spoonbill. But once he was down it looked like he was dancing around for a while.

Snowy Egrets will do that to flush out fish, but a Spoonbill never really does.

After a bit it stopped and he just walked off. No clue why the antics, but it did make for decent photographs.

Terrific shots, the colour is extraordinary.
On a bright day that’s how vivid they can be 😀. Went out to marshes today and found 100’s . But it was over cast, dark, and drizzle. So probably not great.
