Glossy Ibis

Post by sburke »

Hey Mick. Yes it is a Glossy Ibis. It flew into the private lake at Springs Garden World restaurant as I was checking out the nesting egrets and ibis and the bats. I got photo's and will forward them to you and Pat tomorrow.
After our conversation this morning you have let me know that this is a first time for the area. :D That makes my weekend.
