This beautiful Spoonbill lives at Weymouth, but they do fly away to other places and I am not sure why.
It is called a “Spoonbill”, because it looks like it has a spoon at the end of its mouth.

What an interesting bird … the first time I see a bird with such a beak
It certainly is a different bird it is the size of a heron or egret, it often feeds on marine life in the Manukau harbour.
There is probably food in abundance, dear Pamela
looking at birds, it is tempting to say they overspecialize. but then the dinosaurs had the same model and they did great
Thanks for the comment Alex
thanks for inspiring an interesting thought
An amazing bird. I see her for the first time.
Yes, I really like the Royal Spoonbill
I have to say that is an odd looking bill, however I am landlocked!
Certainly agree with you Ghostwriter, the first time I saw it, I could not believe it but the bill is what it is…Thanks for the comment.
have spoon, will travel!
Great shot Pam.
that was the theme from Pelican, wasn’t it?
Thanks Alex, the Spoonbill is a unique species
Thanks so much Doc, I believe there are other types of Spoonbills in the world
there are at least some in Africa. Thanks Pam!
Thanks Doc, they definitely do have spoon and travel, they look like their are vacuuming the Manukau harbour.
ROFL
that made me laugh out loud!!!
That beak is noticeable for its length and that spoonlike ending
You are right Grace it definetly is..
