Royal Spoonbill

A stunning Royal Spoonbill cleaning while looking for food.

The regal royal spoonbill is a striking white water-bird with a distinctive spoon-shaped black bill and elegant breeding plumage, including long crest feathers and colorful facial markings. The only spoonbill species to breed in New Zealand, it arrived from Australia in the 1800s and is now found across both islands, nesting in coastal colonies and foraging in estuaries and wetlands. With its unique feeding style—sweeping its bill through shallow water to catch fish and shrimp—it’s a captivating sight, often compared to a creature from a Dr Seuss book.
