I also counted 4 Eurasian Spoonbills in your photo.
Did they land in the wet fields in LV?

Thanks for your reply!
More than forty Spoonbill were flying over but none of them landed.

Thanks for your information!
Seems to be seasonal. We see them flying over every Nov / Dec, sometimes they land.
LV is quite far from their other loafing and foraging sites. I wonder if they forage in any rivers nearby~
