Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)

After starting to photograph flight shots, I soon realised that this is another ball game all together. When the hands are steady and the panning is good, some beauties come out of the camera.

Estuaries, grasslands and vleis.

Illovo Beach, KZN, RSA
Date taken
19-09-2005
Scientific name
Threskiornis aethiopicus

Canon 20D 70-200mm + 1.4x converter.
A superb capture. I love the pose with the wings spread wide and the translucent light and just enough illumination of the head to bring out the colours and detail.
