Gloss

From Hinterland Park we moved a few kms to Carrara and the Emerald Lakes, first investigating (what I called the Lily Pond) on the other side of the road. What a hot spot for birds this was. On the far side in really lovely light was this Glossy Ibis showing some really lovely iridescence.

Dusky but Glossy

On the far side of the lagoon was a Glossy Ibis feeding in the company of two Dusky Moorhens.

In his glory

We moved a short distance to go to the Eagleby Wetlands. Parked the car and wandered across a meadow. There in the lake was a glorious Glossy Ibis, looking just wonderful in the sun. Remember, I'd only seen one of these before coming out to Australia, a rather distant one at Kinnordy and he...

Iridescence

Ken helped me find a gap in the tall grass where I could see through to this group ibis. They looked stunning.

Iridescence

Near the turtle was a Glossy Ibis, with some sun just catching him to make him gleam. LOL I never noticed the duck, until I was processing this image to upload, I'm presuming it was a Pacific Black Duck.

Glossy Ibis

This bird was in a small, random pond we happened upon. I had seen another mention of the same species several days earlier, but not in the exact same location. The image was a little hazy, so I did some dehaze. That exaggerated the yellows, but I like the effect on this image. The bird in the...

Lifer record shot

As you can see from the title... I got him, even if he isn't very clear in the picture, even after a huge crop. Had great views of him through the scope though. What a great birding session that was, you can read all about it in the Kinnordy Thread here...

Glossy Ibis

As the boat wandered through the wetlands and hit a sharp turn, the Ibis took off with surprise. Photo taken at Chilikan wetlands at Mangaljodi,Odisha,India.

Back again for more

No excuses, had a couple of hours this afternoon so headed back to Boyton hoping that the Ibis was still viewable... found a nice spot by the fence set up through the long grass and watched and waited as it came towards me. Boy did it come towards me, so close that the 500mm lens was useless and...
