Black-faced Spoonbills

A number of Black-face Spoonbills were present at Hong Kong Wetland Park; at the time I did not appreciate how endangered they are...background courtesy of Wikipedia:

 

The Black-Faced Spoonbill population as of 2012 census was recorded at 2,693 birds, with an estimation of 1,600 mature birds.

 

Confined to the coastal areas of eastern Asia, it has a niche existence on only a few small rocky islands off the west coast of North Korea, with four wintering sites at Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam.
