Roseate Spoonbills are social creature. (I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you if you visit this site often. Social clowns actually)

When I spot a Spoonbill without his friends I can’t help but look around for the rest. However, none this time.

The juvenile was poking around the mangroves and appeared to be in no hurry to take off in search of the others.

A little later he was ‘flapping’ around like he’d been taking lessons from the local Reddish Egrets.
