The conflict for landing place of Black-faced Spoonbills

The Black-faced Spoonbill spent most time of the day perched on the mangrove trees, but strong winds from the ocean (Haiyan Typhoon was coming) used to make them unstable and have to change their landing place. So that the conflict amongs thems is usual to take a stable shelter, even sometimes they stand on another's back or head. Here are some photos about what happened. 
Cò mỏ thìa dành phần lớn thời gian trong ngày nghỉ ngơi trên những cành đước ở khu sinh thái ngập mặt. Nhưng những cơn gió biển mạnh trước ngày bảo Hải Yến đổ bộ thường làm bọn này lắc lư không ngừng và đôi khi phải bay nhảy lên kiếm chỗ đậu khác ổn định hơn. Theo như quan sát thì mình thấy có một cuộc cạnh tranh giữa những cá thể trong đàn để giành nhau chỗ đậu, đôi khi chúng còn giẫm lên lưng, lên đầu những con khác. Dưới đây là một số hình ảnh về những gì đã diễn ra mà mình chụp được. 

Resting on the mangrove trees

Sleeping or doing spoonbill's job...

A Spoonbill got unstable when facing a strong wind. Its wing was touching the other on the left

Immediately, the one who've been touch peck back with its spoonbill.

Another same scenes

After being hit, he jumped on another's back to another branch.

And flew to find another stable place to landing, but it was hard to do. Especially when the others weren't comfortable

So he decided to do it his way. He landed on another's back and tried to peck him.

But maybe the back of another still not stable enough to land so he was take off again and flew away...

After a minute, when moving to the another position for a better view very slowly, I suddenly fell down and make a big noise. After that, they are all took off and flew away. What a shame to me... 

This weekend I'll be there again to have more chance to learn about their habitat, behavior and looking for more better pictures. Anyone wanna join me? 
Enjoy,
