Brilliant Spoonbill family shot Alan. I especially love the strong eye contact of all the family members.

lovely shot Alan, nice details and pose and very sharp but having seen this specie in real life, this has a green cast to my eyes.

Happy new year to you as well, I look forward to your great images. TFS

Cracking shot Alan! If this is going to be the standard for 2011....wow. The head angles of the youngsters and the interaction between the whole family make the shot. Brilliant work...and a happy New Year to you as well!

Looks like a tired parent, very needy kids. Wonderful family portrait Alan.

Happy new year to you as well.

Oh wow what a shot. All looking to the parent for some food probably. Perfect bokeh and composed too with all the beaks in a ring. Well done.

Happy New Year.

Martin :)
