Any food lover will tell you it's good to be open to different taste sensations, so who can blame these inquisitive birds for having a peck at a new dish.
However, when the delicacy is ferocious alligator and you are a thin-legged spoonbill it might be wise to let another diner take the first bite.
These incredible rare pictures capture the moment a flock of the beautiful pink-hued birds discovered the large reptile gliding through their watering hole.
The images of the Roseate breed spoonbills were taken at the Murrells Inlet in Huntington Beach State Park just metres from the home of American photographer Phil Lanoue.

The birds appeared to be intrigued by the stranger in the waters and followed the alligator around the marsh pond in South Carolina.
