Uncommon, breeding visitor

An irruptive species, sometimes appearing in small groups in wetlands across the region.

General: Declining trends for this species evident from 2013 continued this year: number of records down 40% to 53, the lowest since 2012; grid cells down 36% to 9; total number of birds down 54% to 59, lower than the 30, 20 and 10YAs; abundance (0.0042) and reporting rates (0.4) down 62% and 50% respectively; weeks recorded down 29% to 20. Max down from 4 to 3/15 Oct JWNR (MaM4), mean 1.1 (down from 1.5), median 1. Over 79% of the records were from JWNR/JW Woodland Walk of 1-3 birds reported by many observers over extended periods. No other locations had more than a single bird recorded, mainly on 1 or 2 days only. Winter and spring accounted for over 58% of records this year (33% last year). No breeding recorded.

GBS: only 1 record, 1/2wk Dec, Giralang Pond (KaD1). Recorded only 11 times in the GBS.

Abundance

Distribution map

Distribution - 2017

This map shows the observed distribution of the Royal Spoonbill for 2017.

The red circles are the grid cells where Royal Spoonbill have been reported.

The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number A11.

The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Royal Spoonbill was 10.5% (eg grid number U3) and the minimum was 0.4% (eg grid number L11).

Distribution - all years

This map shows the observed distribution of the Royal Spoonbill for all years.
