preening ibis

From Wikipedia:

"The ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae. They all have long down curved bills, and usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. Most species nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons.

 

This Australian White Ibis was investigating and feeding at the Fish Markets, in Sydney Australia."
