I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
Wonderful picture!!!!! I think of you two week ago because I went to the Paris’ zoo and there is a greenhouse with spoonbill free in there . So they fly just aver our heads. But it is better in their own nature.
Have a nice day Phil
That’s the funny thing about these birds, I can never get enough of them either. Despite the fact I have a ton of photos of them, if any come around I’m right back out there taking more. 😀
Great shot of one of the pink guys. It shows all his fun parts, the feet (those feet!), the beautiful pink , the wings, and of course his bill! I can look at these guys all day.
Any sports photographer can produce technically great stop-action photographs, but your masterful use of composition, light, and suspended animation require the eye of an artist. Beautiful, soulful work here! 🙂

They really are fun birds to see!
Thank you for looking and commenting Sophie!
Beautiful shot, Phil. I just can’t get enough of these spoonbills!

The spoonie who thought he was a pelican.
That’s the first thing I thought of too!
Great capture ! and the cropping is just about perfect …………….
Well… it’s close to perfect. 😛
Glad you like this photo and thanks for your assistance.
Fabulous shot, Phil.
Thank you Sylvia, I appreciate it.
Perfect position to show off its bill and colour. Then again these guys seem to look pretty well in most any position.
Yeah thanks, I like when they turn in flight so that you can see that spoon shaped bill. Sometimes they cooperate.
Beautiful shots!!!
Thanks a bunch for checking it out!
Perfect!
Thanks much I appreciate that!
What a wonderful action shot, Phil! You never fail us!
I’m happy you enjoyed this spoonie pic Maggie!
Beautiful capture! Phil, your shots are always very special! Thanks!

I know, those feet get you every time! 🙂
I can’t help always watching and taking more photos of these fun pink guys!
Wow a fantastic capture love the colour, well done ☺
