A vagrant Glossy Ibis feeds among the Mallards at A.K.Sculthorp Memorial Woodland Marsh, in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada.
Took a trip out today with my mate Dave (DJL Dorset), we decided to go over to Cristchurch, We wanted to see this Glossy Ibis, having never been to Cristchurch before, it is a bit of a juant from here, thought what the hell, we were going to the New Forset, so stop on the way, Gald we did, have never seen one, not even in a zoo, happy days another first, cheers Dave, great Day.
No editing at all, this is full frame, I really did get this close
A Glossy Ibis. I love going out a couple of hours before sunset and to sit quietly amongst the reeds with the tics and mozzies. Gradually the Ibis accept you sitting there and start to hop, squabble and fly around the reeds in the low light.
Such fun 😀

A Glossy Ibis in non-breeding plumage foraging along with an Indian Pond Heron. Glossy Ibises feed in very shallow water and nest in freshwater or brackish wetlands with tall dense stands of emergent vegetation and low trees or bushes. They show a preference for marshes at the margins of lakes and rivers but can also be found at lagoons, flood-plains, wet meadows, swamps, reservoirs, sewage ponds, paddies and irrigated farmland. It is less commonly found in coastal locations such as estuaries, deltas, salt marshes and coastal lagoons. Preferred roosting sites are normally in large trees which may be distant from the feeding areas.

H i folks,this is a first for me, I've never seen Glossy Ibis Chicks before and viewed large you can see the stunning colors, albeit very subtle now are starting to show very nicely, it seems that they make a nice transformation especially in the beak.
Thanks for popping in, and have a super day everyone.
Sharing the resources and estate. I see quite a few Glossy Ibis in the spring, but this is my first time seeing juvenile late in the summer. I spent about an hour last week photographing a trio of the young birds at Hammonasset SP. Glossies came from Africa to the Caribbean in the 19th century, and populations have steadily expanded to include New England. Thanks to all, I always appreciate those who take the time to view and make thoughtful comments.
Glossy Ibis / Sichler (Plegadis falcinellus)
A beautifully elegant wader. I had the great opportunity of catching one in the Spring when like many other species, they're extremely busy nesters. Lots of flight opportunities.
A Lifer for me.
The glossy ibis is still about at Summer Leys although it spends less time on the reserve and even less time in areas where it can be photographed. However, I got lucky again before Christmas and got a few more photos of this incredible bird
This handsome bird was seen and photographed at Chagres river, Gamboa Panama.
Many thanks for your comments, faves, and follows :)

The light on this bird was so beautiful and showed the colors in the feathers so well I decided to post this image and hope everyone enjoys looking at our wading birds here in So.Florida.
