Royal Spoonbill (Platalea regia)

Yarraville, Melbourne

Captured this spoonbill feeding in a backwash of the Yarra River in Yarraville, Melbourne. Fascinating to watch it sweep that spoonbill sideways through the water to sieve out its food. Quite rare to see these creatures now, used to be commonly found with Ibis.
