royal spoonbill (Platalea regia)

Christchurch, July 2006
I love spoonbills. Brilliant birds.

This is one of two spoonbill species I've never had the opportunity to see - the Royal and Yellow-billed Spoonbills are absent from European zoos (Eurasian, African and Roseate are reasonably common; only Walsrode has Black-faced).
