Like many waterbirds, Pied Avocets love the warm winter in Hong Kong, and the Mudflats at Mai Po Nature Reserve is their favourite feeding place.
Their upcurved bill is unique among water birds.
When feeding, the bill sweeps from side to side to catch small insects in water.
Sometimes, they also dive in the water to search for food.
While the majority of migratory birds are still on their way to Hong Kong, these early birds are enjoying a quiet moment at Mai Po Nature Reserve.

Strange looking bird for me. I have not seen anything like it around where we live here in the state of Ohio.
Your photography is very much appreciated.
