Tina, this is just a garden variety Little Egret whose bill was accidentally run over by the hard wheel of a carabao-drawn cart....  |

(  <---- White-shouldered Starer, gathering his senses, starts worshiping the ground that Tina walks on.) OMG, if my eyes serve me right, it might not be the expected Black-faced Spoonbill!!!  Could it be the Eurasian Spoonbill ( Platalea leucorodia) If so, it might be a NEW country record!!! www.orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?action=searchresult&Bird_ID=1125Super-duper-ultra-mega-giga-terra CONGRATS, idol!Romy |

Waiting for Steve .... crossing my fingers and toes If it's the eyes you cross, and if you do it long enough, this creature could become the Four-legged Spoonbill, a very rare bird, indeed... ;D |

Tina,
Yes, unmistakeable. Platalea leucorodia. Send the news through the WBCP list-server, and also send it to the Records Committee! Nice find!

Wow Tina!
Congrats on the new country record.
Lots of birds in Candaba now. I think we should also congratulate the guys from Kaakbay and the local government for their efforts in maintaining the habitat.
Candaba, here we come!
