194) African spoonbill

Nah! I don't think so. It's a Little Egret.

 

Excellent selection and within a pin feather of 200.

So it is. I have an equally poor shot of a spoonbill somewhere, which I will add when I find it….

Impressive raptor additions! That was a Well-spotted Eagle! I might have just driven past without realising it was not a Wahlberg’s. Reminds me to prepare myself properly again for our trip later this year and take nothing for granted….!

Probably just luck - stopping as it was close to the road etc. still can’t find a tawny though….
