Over the last few years I’ve developed something of a soft spot for photographing wading birds. You can’t miss those lanky legs and knobbly knees (something I can relate to) and amazing beaks from the delicacy of an avocet, to the almost ludicrous mandibles of the spoonbill. Although the myriad beaks in the bird-world come in all shapes and sizes, ups and downs and colours, nothing can quite prepare you for the wybill.
That’s right folks, do not adjust your set, that beak really is bent sideways.
