Thanks James,
We do get them occasionally around parts of Tassie. There was a pair at the Sewage ponds here (near Ulverstone, in NW Tas) for a couple of days, a month or two back - maybe the same birds?? They only stayed here a couple of days. There is another pair which has been around Orielton Lagoon, in the south, for a few years. They don't seem to have ever been in any great numbers, and why some are resident, and others nomadic, is a bit of a mystery.

Anyway, thanks for the observation.

May everyone's final days of 2008 be bird-filled!

G'day All,

I observed two Royal Spoonbills roosting in trees on the small island in the
middle of Queechy Lake in Launceston, Tasmania on the 25th December at
around 11:00 AM.
