Thank you Maris.
I was walking around the billabong, area for about an hour, spoonbills were all over the place. Eventually these two were side on, so a quick walk, plonk the tripod which already had the camera lens combination mounted, compose, focus, film holder in, then expose.
I knew the other birds on the ground were there, but I really was concentrating on the spoonbills and waiting for them to turn sideways from the neck up, otherwise their bills just looked ordinary and you couldn't see the spoon bit.
