A digital vector drawing of a spoonbill standing in the water. The background is derived from a photograph of the sea and was taken with a low vantage point. There are beautiful clouds in the sky. You can see a reflection of the bird in the water.
You can see the spoonbill from the side and you can see an eye. The bird is looking to the right.
The color scheme is made slightly gold - green-like so that the colors are just a little warmer, which fits nicely with the warm white tones of the spoonbill.
The spoonbill has a length of about 80 to 93 cm. The spoonbill is immediately recognizable by its spatula-shaped widened black bill at the tip, which is yellow on the front. The bird is white with yellow/light orange spots. The extended head feathers form a bushy crest.
With their spoon-shaped bill, bright white plumage and long wading legs, spoonbills are an elegant sight. They "spoon" food out of the water by moving their beak back and forth. About 2,300 pairs nested in the Netherlands in 2011, the vast majority of them on the Wadden Islands.
