Glossy Ibis. HWW!

#24/100 x 2022 Water.

Seen in the Rainforest Aviary at Australia Zoo, Qld.

 

"The glossy ibis inhabits swamps, mudflats and lakes throughout much of the Australian mainland. Unlike the most commonly recognised Australian white ibis, they are less frequently found in suburbia and, up close, these beautiful birds showcase a stunning, iridescent, reddish-brown plumage! They are the smallest of all species of ibis and predate upon insects, larvae, frogs, fish and small lizards."
