Yellow-billed Spoonbill
private billabong, Point Stuart Rd
billabong had some water in it in July, even after a very poor wet season. We saw birds here that we didn't see anywhere else in Kakadu or Mary River NPs - there must be some interesting conditions at this site. Also a possible Sparrowhawk seen, but not 100% sure of id.
Yellow-billed Spoonbill (1) feeding with Royal Spoonbills. Pics taken - sorry for poor quality (we were viewing from road so a fair way off)
