Do you know any publication or data on individuals of Spoonbill species (Platalea sp. or Ajaja sp.) that ingested lead shotgun pellets?

02 December 2017 0 5K Report

All Spoonbill species has similar feeding method in the world, so we can adopt result to Eurasian Spoonbill. Thank you for your help in advance!
