The Eurasian spoonbill ("Platalea leucorodia"), or common spoonbill, is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family Threskiornithidae. The genus name "Platalea" is from Latin and means "broad", referring to the distinctive shape of the bill, and "leucorodia" is from Ancient Greek "leukerodios" "spoonbill", itself derived from "leukos", "white" and "erodios" "heron". In England it was traditionally known as the "shovelard", a name later used for the Northern Shoveller.
