It was quite close and I’m sure I could touched it. It’s a bit of a shame that they are called “common” spoonbills isn’t it.

Thanks. I like comments. :-)

@johnfalconer My bird book calls these Royal Spoonbills - far better than common :)

@gilbertwood
I followed up your comment and it would seem they are “Royal” but still “common as” in South Eastern Australia! I’ll go back and read the signing again.
