Platalea regia
Large white waterbird with black, spatulate (spoon-shaped) bill, facial skin, legs and feet.
Shallow freshwater and saltwater wetlands, intertidal mud flats and wet grasslands. Both permanent and temporary inland waters are used when available in the arid zone. Will also use artificial wetlands such as sewage lagoons, saltfields, dams and reservoirs.
