This bird sweeps its bill from side to side to catch prey it can’t even see.
The Royal Spoonbill inhabits wetlands, estuaries, and coastal lagoons across Australia, New Zealand, and nearby islands. Using its distinctive spoon-shaped bill, it detects fish, crustaceans, and aquatic insects by touch as it slowly wades through shallow water.
A graceful artist of the wetlands, turning every sweep of its bill into a masterpiece of precision.
