White Wintering Birds - Part 3

This third post on wintering white birds relies on one of my favourite waterbird species, the spoonbill. This species remains still scarce in Italy but a bit less than in the past. During winter and migration it is not rare to observe small flocks in the main wetlands of central Italy but mostly in small numbers. It's migration, together with its social interactions, makes this species particularly interested to be studied as it was showed by a few recent studies.
