Eurasian Spoonbills, Biesbosch, Netherlands A conservation success story. In the 1970s there were only 170 breeding pairs in our country, now there are 2.500 pairs. Which makes it a unique group as they do not breed anywhere else in the northwest of Europe. They migrate to the Netherlands via swamps in Spain and France.
