This photo was taken on the Yellow Waters wetlands on the South Alligator River in Kakadu. The area where the photo was taken was quite heavily overgrown with the Lotus plants from SE Asia. The birds scientific name is Ardea intermedia. A common name is Plumed Egret. These birds are found in the northern parts of WA ie Kimberleys, across the top end of the Northern Territory, throughout most of Queensland and down into the central and northern parts of NSW. They are occasionally found south into Victorian and Tasmania.
This spoon's handle is partly round and partly flattened, allowing for an inscription. It is a quite grim couplet by the 19th century poet Ziya Paşa:
"Nîk ü bed herkes bulur âlemde elbet etdiğin
Kendi bulmazsa cezâ mîrâs olur evlâdına",
which my friend Irvin translates as:
Good or bad, everyone in the world gets his just desserts
If he does not get his punishment, then it is inherited by his progeny.

Intermediate Egret (Ardea intermedia), photographed at The Palmetum Botanic Gardens, Townsville, Australia
Breeding colours in his bill, gape and lores. Lacy plumes on the breast as well as the back.
In 1981, Dr Max Maddock leased an area near the University of Newcastle for grazing horses and noticed four pairs of egrets had established a breeding colony in trees standing in a paperbark swamp on the site.
Dr Maddock led community protests over plans to build a state highway across the area, which resulted in the formation of the Hunter Wetlands Group and after a successful campaign, the wetlands were declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1984.
Four species of egret, heron, spoonbills, and ibises now nest in the paperbark swamp each year - around 2,000 birds.
Too heavily armed to be a typical pre dreadnought,..... French were just too unsure to jump to expensively armed full all big gun ships and so continued with designs and weapons they had already... finished after the quickly built Dreadnought ...but they still used turbines and designed for 19 knts they tested up to 23 knots of speed.....but consumption was huge and they needed frequent refueling.... armament though no dreadnought uniformity there was 4 12 inch guns in 2 twin turrets and 12 9.4 inch in 6 twin turrets for a weighty broadside....
That stripey pattern will disappear when they get older. This intermediate pike was still small (35cm) and in really shallow water.
