I'd just turned my camera towards the spoonbill standing on the mudflat when there was a great kerfuffle and two spoonbills were in flight. On examination the photos show a white-faced heron was also involved. 🐦

Two white spoonbills with a grey and white heron between them fly low with green grassy hills behind them and mangroves below.
