HIGH END GLOSS

It is almost impossible to sufficiently admire just how classy and sleek he is! Portrait of an absolute belter of a Yellow-bellied Water Skink (Eulamprus heatwolei) from the banks of the Big River near Jamieson in the Victorian High Country on a sunny spring morning a few days ago.

Glossy Ibis ~ (Plegadis falcinellus)

I had never noticed the iridescence on the top of the Glossy Ibis' head before, but this one was kind enough to use a little product to show it off!

Thanks for visiting!

This bird seen by a pond already has much of its breeding plumage and will only get more beautiful, west coast Florida.

This ibis is pretty glossy, but it's not a Glossy Ibis. The red eye gives it away as a White-faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi). But then it doesn't have a white face either. Pretty confusing. Found in Lafitte's Cove, Galveston Island, Texas. Lafitte (AKA Laffite) was a 19th century pirate who lived on the island.

A very rare visitor to the UK. This Glossy Ibis was photographed just outside Reading.
