I am fortunate that I can see Kōtuku Ngutupapa (Royal Spoonbills) not far from my home. It was a real treat, however, to see this Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) in the Crimson Wetlands aviary at Mandai Bird Paradise, Singapore.

Like Flamingos, the pink colour of the Roseate Spoonbill comes from its diet, though apparently it does not spread to all its plumage.
