Description: Royal spoonbills feedin in Ōkārito Lagoon, Ōkārito, West Coast. This lagoon is the largest unmodified estuarine wetland in New Zealand. It preserves a swathe of habitats from mature rimu forest through kahikatea swamp forest and mānuka scrub to brackish water eelgrass beds. It is the main foraging ground for white herons or kōtuku, whose only New Zealand nesting colony is nearby; spoonbills also nest at the colony.
