Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) - Oman wildlife

Taken at Masirah Island, Oman.

 

Have a peaceful weekend my dear Flickr friends.

 

Thank you so much for dropping by my photostream and leaving all the kind comments. They are very much appreciated.

 

FACTS:

Long, curved bill. Adults mostly dark with iridescent green and reddish tones. Very thin white border surrounding the dark facial skin. Dark eyes. Usually gregarious, it is found mainly in salty marshes and shallow wetlands. Unmistakable in most of its range, though American birds are best distinguished from White-faced Ibis by distribution and facial pattern.
