Welcome KK. You are the Master of Flight. I like the frraming, the pose, and the one visible red eye. I'd perfer the wing tips either sharper or more blurred. Do you know where this species breeds?

Later and love, artie

Welcome .KK. Great to have you here. Beautiful flight shot and I love the slight head turn showing us the one eye and the wonderful wing spread which almost creates a diagonal. Excellent detail and exposure too.

Happy New Year !!

The BF Spoonbills share their breeding grounds on few islands off the west coast of North Korea and on the islands in the Liaoning Province in northeastern China with other shorebirds Their wintering sites include Hong Kong, Taiwan (largest population todate), Vietnam etc.

Only seen this species in pictures, they are amazing. Love the blurred wings and that eye.

Welcome aboard, KK, good to see you here. I like the blurred wing tips adding motion to the image. I also like the slight head turn and the angle of approach.
