If I had to choose just one model… why not a tall, elegant, pink bird.
This one bird stayed behind as the flock moved along feeding. Several times he looked directly at me but did not move off.
I did switch my camera to ‘silent’ shooting here. The sounds of fast shutter clicks made him hesitate several times. I was also behind tall reeds.
There are probably too many photographs here, but really this opportunity only happens a few times a year.
The morning light was perfect. Another time of day and glare might have ruined these shots.
How gorgeous! The second photo is especially wonderful, made me smile 🙂
The second one is the winner, no doubt. Thanks.
All wonderful, but the second photo is my favourite!
That must be the shot. Most people never mention an individual image. The photograph has been mention where ever it has been posted.
Oh, yes, she is a wonderful model, so gracious, so beautiful and elegant.
I have never seen this bird before. The photographs are magnificent!
All the wildlife photographers and birders search out the Spoonbills they are so special. Most of these are young birds and have less color. Adults, especially breeding time, are vivid pink and even have some orange.
Your second image is gorgeous!
Thank you. It might be one of my favorite Spoonie images.
