Eurasian Spoonbill

This photograph was supposed to have been uploaded, in a previous post but due to oversight missed it out. So uploading it today as a new post rather than amend the old one.
Photographed at the Ranganathittu bird sancutary, the crest is acquired by the bird during its breeding season.

Eurasian Spoonbill

On a recent visit to Ranganathittu, I managed to photograph quite a few birds which I have not featured on this blog before. The next few posts will be these birds and today I start with This Eurasian Spoonbill. The birds were nesting as you can see in the first photograph, the crown which you can see in the second photograph is aquired only by breeding birds and non-breeders dont get it.
