Photograph exactly three healthy adult black-faced spoonbills feeding naturally in shallow water across a misty tidal salt marsh at dawn. One bird sweeps its broad spoon-shaped bill through the water while two others walk farther back. Keep white plumage, black facial skin, long legs, bill shape, toes, and body proportions anatomically accurate. Use a landscape 4:3 near-water-level 500mm telephoto composition, with softly blurred salt-tolerant red plants in the foreground and the three birds forming a loose triangular rhythm before tidal creeks and reeds disappear into fog. Gentle pink-gray morning light outlines feathers and fine ripples without theatrical contrast. Ethical photorealistic wildlife photography; exactly three birds; no extra wings or legs, human interaction, feeding props, readable text, logos, watermark, artificial saturation, or staged behavior.
