Party pooper Spoonbill

[Clemens Vanderwerf]

I thought I got a nice sequence of two spoonbills flying towards me. Could not believe my eyes when I looked at the camera screen. The top guy is relieving himself mid-air. So much for a nice flying buddy!

Photo taken on March 6th at 8.56 am at Alafia Banks, Tampa Bay. Canon 1D MkIV, 700mm (500mm + 1.4x), f7.1, 1/3200, ISO 400.

It's not the most spectacular flight scene, but definitively a special moment caught on camera.:)

Let me know what you think?

Hahahaha, I've gotten that a few time myself, not that I tried.

I like the sync flight and sharpness, light is not very complimentary, I may try and tone down the whites in the necks.

Techs look just right :)

Always a surprise to find a strand of spaghetti you weren't expecting. Colours work well against the blue sky.

[Mark Young]

Good timing. Beautiful hues of pink and reds in the birds.

Yes, in the trade, we do call that the toothpaste shot. The whites on the neck look very bright.
