Description:
Platalea regia, commonly known as the royal spoonbill or black-billed spoonbill, is a large wading bird from the family Threskiornithidae, and is an Australian native. This is also a tall bird that stands approximately 80 cm high. White plumage, long legs, and an amazing spoon-shaped bill that acts like a pair of tongs. At this location, the spoonbill diet would consist mainly of small fish and tadpoles, small crustaceans and aquatic insects. It uses several methods to catch food: slow sweeping from side to side with an open bill, rapid sweeping while walking fast, or even running through the water, as well as dragging, probing or grabbing. Once food is caught, it lifts its bill up and lets the items slide down its throat. It will bash shrimps against hard objects to remove their shells. (Birdlife Australia) This species occurs in intertidal flats and shallows of fresh and saltwater wetlands, and can also be found New Zealand, Indonesia, PNG, and the Solomon Islands.

Habitat:
Spotted along a sandy track at freshwater Lake Broadwater, which forms part of the Lake Broadwater Conservation Park.. https://parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/lake-. This region is very flat, and Lake Broadwater is the only large, naturally-occurring freshwater lake on the Darling Downs. Dalby is the nearest town. NB: Just a little over 12 months ago and this lake was completely dry due to the massive drought that Australia experienced. It s wonderful to see how the lake and surrounding bushland has recovered. Birdlife was abundant
