Little Egret and Sacred IbisFour silhouettes among the rice ears: the ibises with their bills down, rummaging, the little egret standing stiffly on sentry duty. It reminded me of the Beatles' Abbey Road cover. 
Grey Heron and Sacred IbisA small informal gathering on a ridge in the rice field: the grey heron leads the way and a handful of sacred ibises follow in a loose line, through mist and backlight.
