I was on a small cruise around Paterson Inlet this morning, including the Norwegian Whaler's Base in Prices inlet.
The small Island at the head of the inlet had four Royal Spoonbill roosting on it, they are now fairly regular at this location.
A bonus was the White Heron aka Great White Egret with them, not so regular!
Cheers

Hi Matt,
Joy, Rachael & I saw the White Heron along with 15 Royal Spoonbills at the same spot on 20 July 2021, so it must like the area. See atlas checklist S92026648 for a full list of species seen then.
Cheers,
Paul
