Their large spoon-shaped bills easily distinguish spoonbills from all other water birds. Its black face, bill and legs all distinguish the Royal Spoonbill. They make grunts, growls and soft honks. Also non-vocal sounds such as bill-snapping and ‘wing-woofing’ during aggressive displays. Canon 450D, EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
