SPOONBILLS

The video discusses the protection and migration of spoonbills in Holland. These birds return from Africa to breed in the Swanswater nature reserve, where they raise their young in spring and summer. The colony, consisting of 50 pairs, is a significant breeding area in northwest Europe. Spoonbills feed their young with shrimps and small fish from the nearby Vaudenzee. After two months, the young spoonbills join their parents in foraging before migrating back to Africa in autumn. An unrelated mention of a car rally in Donegal is also included.
