African penguins (Critically Endangered) are surprisingly gnarly. An aviary section houses avocets, spoonbills, lapwings, terns and ducks, including Spectacled eider (male shown here). They have kept Common eider in the past, but none are here now... #birds #waterbirds #ducks #Birdworld

More from #Birdworld. Crowned cranes are there, and a point of interest is that these birds are apparently happy to stand right next to people: stretching, yawning, looking at things in the sky. African spoonbills are there too, and Blacksmith plovers are kept with the African penguins... #birds

Nobody's home.

It looks like fall might be on the way for this neighbor.
