Where Is My Bill?

Where Is My Bill? (Lonchura malabarica)

As I was walking across the reeds to a clearing on the edge of the drain water pool, this little fellow flew in and sat on a stem bang in front of me. Sadly, on a second look, realised that almost his entire bill was missing. Managed to get a shot before he took off.

LOL you can't interrupt the important business of feeding for a second, not even to pose for you!!

This is lovely SK, it shows how they feed.

Nice one my friend.
