Chasing parked cars again? Oh dear it looks in a bit of a state. He certainly looks healthy apart from the beak. Great capture Radu.

This heron wanted to be woodpecker, but as we all see, without great success :-) Great details and colours.

Pucker up! Very nice shot Radu. I pity the poor bird but he seems ok. Thanx for sharing.

Radu, A great follow-up with this detailed & graphic display of malformation. I wonder if this was from birth or due to injury? A great post!

Looks like he's been trying to open tin cans,probably salmon or sardines.
Either that or he's dived on a dried up lake. Amazing how they adapt. (I once saw a seagull that had been shot with a wooden kebab skewer. It seemed to be just getting on with its life...with a wooden skewer straight through the middle of it's body!)
Well spotted and captured.

Well, he is a survivor all right. The sharpness and DOF is very good and I like the colors.

Thanks for posting

It is very strange the contrast between the malformation and the health of this guy. Beautiful and interesting shot.
