As a side note: Martin O’Brien, Wildlife Biologist – Threatened Species & Communities Section, DSE visited Macleod Morass recently and saw a handful of Royal Spoonbills which may have been nesting.<\/p>\n

Royal Spoonbills are restricted colonial breeding waterbirds in Victoria, so any nesting needs to be reported. <\/p>\n
