A small gallery.
Somehow these 2 decided to stay together. At the time they were the only Egret and Spoonbill around so probably a safety in numbers thing.
They walked between open areas of these canals and it looked like the Egret was following along with the Spoonbill. Egrets are the more aggressive breed here I would have thought it would lead.

Kind of cute together 😊
There are some species that seem OK with mixing others. These are among them. Not usually just 2 though.
