Brilliant beauty in Flight

Pied avocet

Amazing to watch these shorebirds race up and down the lake, feeding on what looks like next to nothing! a difficult exposure with blacks and whites and bright sunlight, but good fun as always.

This bird has such an interesting beak. would it be nice if we could as "evolution" the reasoning behind this development?

I would be interested to know!

Maybe a scoop type beak to lift small quantities of water up, and filter the food out from there? So cool!

We are so lucky to have nature share such beauty!
