AFRICAN SPOONBILL // PLATALEA ALBA (91cm)

GAMBIA TOUR feb. 2020

====================

Large white water bird, with bare red face and long blue-grey spatulate bill. Seen at fresh and saline water, making a unsuccessful grab at a fish, near the Kotu bridge. Interesting to note have seen these birds feeding in co-operative working parties wading slowly through pools and gullies, with yellow billed storks, herons, and pelicans, this is one amazing sight !!
