While many of New Zealand’s native wetland birds are in decline, one relative newcomer has been thriving…
Royal Spoonbill (kōtuku ngutupapa) made its way across the Tasman Sea and has found a new home in New Zealand. Join birders as they head out for a Nationwide Spoonbill Census to find out how the quirky birds are doing.
