White Ibis at waters edge, centre.
Feeding by the Samphire (an older post) - did you know it's a delicacy?
Same day, in the same location, and after a lot of walking, there were historic shipwrecks to be found.
If you'd like to see them too, I've just made a new post, Historic Shipwrecks of Homebush Bay on Snap Happy Online (my non-birding blog). Hope you'll visit there too, it's just a little click away.
beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of White Ibis, Carole.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth picture is my favorite.
Have a great weekend, Irma
Nice pictures - I have some older images of ibis eating grubs from a sports oval - I found out they were once called the "famers friend" because of their diet.

ReplyDeleteCarole, your white ibis are cool looking birds. Their heads remind me of the wood storks seen here in Florida. Great photos. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey are simply gorgious pics, facially they maybe would not win a beauty contest, but they are stil a smart bird.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Gordon.
graceful birds. (another b&w). :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a White Ibis sometime! They're a beautiful bird. Nice photos!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots, Carole! Very prehistoric looking birds, especially with the black neck and head.
ReplyDeleteWow, you did get some good images Carole. We have had the rare visit of the Glossy Ibis, although I have not been fortunate enough to see one yet.
ReplyDeleteOh these are such wonderful birds. I've seen them at zoos before (which I never go to anymore). Thank you for the kind comment on the violin.
ReplyDeleteAfrican Sacred Ibis, which is very common in Ethiopia, looks very similar.
ReplyDeleteWhat grand looking birds!!
