The lighting was just right for a show! Though widespread in Australia, these dark Ibis are generally uncommon. They will be moving North and inland now autumn has arrived.
yes they are! they make a wonderful contrast! I like spoonbills too
He was really showing his colours here Simon, they can often look dark brownish :) They are an average size of 52cm unlike the large 72cm Australian White Ibis! You also can't see if they are dirty ;) No Spoonbills here soon ...
These photos are incredible. It looks like you were close enough to shake hands..or feet,or well, you know what I mean!
Awww thanks Red Mojo, it's that camera we both have! I'm also prone to tight cropping images for blogs - because about seeing detail :)
Speaking of colours - WHOW!
This lad can't fail to trap he's that good looking! ;-D
PS I am going to have to come back and watch the video I have just spied "Jack the Wizzzzzard"!
HAHA girls like shiny and glossy things Miladysa :) Jack has new tricks now!
Bellissimo bellissimo!!!
The Glossy Ibis is indeed Modroom!
Oh the pattern on his neck feathers gives me ibis, I mean, goose bumps, I don't know why. That long bill, he carries his own chopsticks or tongs.
That's because those are Ibis Bumps Ces ;) He would be handy at a barbecue!
BTW the King Parrot died. Probably from shock...
You open my eyes so often! I didn't know there were such things. I thought an Ibis was white or at least light coloured... so like black swans you've got the reverse of these too!
Wonderful views of the varied feathers.
That's sad Simon :(
Caroline, the dark Glossy Ibis is the most widespread ibis species and can be found in warm regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Atlantic and Caribbean region of the Americas! Not many people see them but they are migratory waterbirds that aren't forgotten once you do see them :)
Wow ... what a glossy handsome guy! I love the colors on his body and the speckles on his head.
Guess what? I saw my first wood duck pair on the creek yesterday!! :) I'll try to get a photo ... but they're shy.
That longbilled birdie looks very much like a supremely middleclass pianoteacher type lady (with a broken hand: how very inconvenient for a pianist!)... they have a most "superior" air!
Your pictures are beautiful, Anon! :)
The speckles on his head do make him extra interesting Melissa. What? First wood ducks!!!! Take it slow and low approaching them because we want to see!
HAHHAHHAAAA you're right Gledwood! I'm not going to be able to look at a Glossy Ibis again without seeing a supremely middleclass pianoteacher with a broken hand, still retaining a "superior air"!!!! Luckily I never learnt piano, but this image might give other readers nightmares!
Thankyou MerlinPrincesse :)
Oh! Well most of the Ibis I see are on flickr!
That's okay Caroline, it falls under protection of the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds - so there aren't that many around :)
