Spoonbill and Shoveler

Spoonbill

 

 

At Walmsley sanctuary this afternoon there was some great light and many good birds.

The 2 which caught my camera lens were both birds with very distinctive bills... the Spoonbill and the Shoveler.

Unusual for us to have an adult Spoonbill as our previous ones have invariably been young birds.

Bright sunshine greeted us at Par this morning for the first Cornwall Wildlife Trust Photographic Group field trip of the new year.

Several members turned up and there were a few of the commoner birds about to photograph.

Here are some examples which look that much better when the sun shines!
