Foraging ecology and diet of Eurasian spoonbills (Platalea leucorodia) in the German Wadden Sea

Eurasian spoonbills (Platalea leucorodia) were first recorded breeding in the German Wadden Sea in 1995. Since then, the breeding numbers have been increasing. However, the foraging habitats and diet of spoonbills in this area remain largely unknown. We therefore analysed the foraging ecology of spoonbills from three colonies in this area using GPS telemetry and examined their diet based on regurgitates and stable isotope analysis. GPS logger...
