I’m at Jerrabombera. I’ve just been observing a royal spoonbill feeding with its sweeping its beak from side to side through the water technique. I put a timer on and discovered that it was catching one prey item every eight seconds. The prey
items were small because they weren’t projecting beyond its beak when it raised its head to swallow them.
