Spoonbills moving on best roost Orakei Basin?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Something is happening on Orakei Basin. I enjoy watching the shags build nests and raise their young on their old tree over the water.

Over the past year a couple of spoonbills were around in the water, then on an old tree low in the water (inferior roost!) then a couple made their way to what I think is the best roost, where the shags have been for years.

Recently I saw 7 spoonbills on the primo roost! And they are taking to a higher roost in the trees too. Looks like they are moving in?? Better plot than Netflix?

Enjoy nature at this time. Kind wishes, Eve
