On the opposite side of the wildlife drive from the Mangroves a different ecosystem was attracting a variety of wading birds feeding in some shallow water. On other trips I’ve seen this area completely dry. After the recent rains there was water here, although it’s not visible from this angle.

Love that spot, nice shots. Different than the usual photos.
Thanks, it was rather a surprise!
Love the dangling feet on the one bird flight shot (am I landing or taking off?!) 🙌🏼🤗
LOL, this time it was landing, but they sure are skillful taking off from standing, too, and it can look the same 🤣
