In honour of our own Spoonbill down at Goldcliff, here's one I filmed earlier at RSPB Frampton Marsh over Easter!
Ant
Even better than the Avocet. Thanks for posting that clip, I've yet to see a Spoonbill.

>Monkeycheese> I think you are increasingly likely to see one .. they seem to be colonising! ;o)
You could always cheat like I did and go to Titchwell in Norfolk .. at least 20 there at any one time!
Nice one Ant! You can obviously get a lot closer to the action there - my Spoonbill footage suffers from the fact that most birds in Goldcliff are such a distance from the hide!
Truly amazing Bob - one of those sightings we all dream about - what a striking bird!
