This is a great catch, Sonjia. Fantastic how you have photographed this bird. Absolutely gorgeous. Greetings from the Netherlands, Joke
So elegant!!!.. :-)
Well isn't this an interesting pose! I love their winter plumage. I wonder if they get a little color like our American Avocets during breeding? Beautiful bird.
Es preciosa. Saludos.
What a gorgeous bird with such a unique beak. I wonder if we get them? An awesome photo!!
Glorious capture!
Those are some gorgeous legs.
I love her beautiful bill!!!
Wow, she certainly is elegant! Wonderful photo of a gorgeous bird!
Beautiful, a new one for me!
They are splendid birds - I saw my first one a few years ago on a trip back to the UK.

Thank you Gail!:) This was my first sighting. They are fairly common though, so although I don't know if you will get them where you are, I should imagine it's more than likely.:)
