and a much closer viewing than my first. I'm not sure why this one was on his own, tucked away in a quiet corner. There was a whole "bouquet" of them on a sandbar in the next lagune. Perhaps this one didn't feel welcome among them ...? And, is "bouquet" the collective word for spoonbills? If not, and if there is no collective word for them yet, I recommend it, at least for the roseates. I'll share a shot of the bouquet later. Oh, and one last question: What does its name "ajaja" come from etymologically. Most likely it's from somebody's name, but it's cute when read through Norwegian eyes as it looks like one Norwegian expression for OMG (aiaiai or ajajaj, pronounced I-I-I) - and they are OMG-gorgeous, especially when seen in a whole bouquet ;)
