Royal spoonbill - Nest Building, Courtship, and Mating
This video shoes two Royal Spoonbills (Platalea regia) also known as the Black-billed spoonbill, engaged in nest building, courtship, and mating. The Royal spoonbill is quite uncommon in Tasmania with only a handful of birds around the state in recent years.
