Spoonbill is an endangered species and their breeding population is decreasing in Turkey. We estimate its breeding population is min.600-800 pairs. The species highly depend on wetlands and Turkey’s wetlands have many challenges; such as habitat destruction, water intervention, water pollution etc. We have very little data on spoonbill population in Turkey such as their breeding success, feeding ecology & migration way. To find out migration routes of the species, we started a ringing scheme for the species in 2007. For a starting point, we put color rings for 6 young. We used 4 plastic color rings at one individual (see picture), supported by Otto Overdijk from Netherlands, Spoonbill Network Group, and fixed them on both tibias of the young.
