I really do love an ibis. And I’m pleased to capture this one in such a classic pose.
Most excellent, squawking, squabbling, ravenous monsters.

And so big! I saw a couple the other day. Didn’t have my glasses on and couldn’t work out what manner of beast they were at first!
The wikipedia article is so interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis
The relationship between birds originating from the Taronga flock and any influx of inland birds into Sydney is poorly known, but it is speculated that human-habituated flocks originating from the zoo may have encouraged some visiting flocks to stay in Sydney, with the two populations likely merging to some degree.
Wonderful!
