Australian White Ibis.
The Australian White Ibis is identified by its almost entirely white body plumage and black head and neck. The head is featherless and its black bill is long and down-curved. During the breeding season the small patch of skin on the under-surface of the wing changes from dull pink to dark scarlet. Adult birds have a tuft of cream plumes on the base of the neck. Females differ from males by being slightly smaller, with shorter bills. Young birds are similar to adults, but have the neck covered with black feathers. In flight, flocks of Australian White Ibis form distinctive V-shaped flight patterns. Another common name for this bird is Sacred Ibis, but this more appropriately refers to a closely related African species.

I'm sure this has been done a thousand times before, but here's my version - 3 years old now. These bridges hold 12 lanes of traffic - 6 south (right-hand bridge) and 6 north (left-hand bridge). They have a life expectancy of 300 years. The central arches only reach to a height of 24 stories; the bridges have been built low because they are near the end of the runway of Brisbane airport, and this has mean't that really large ships such as U.S. aircraft carriers and the Queen Mary 2 cannot pass through to dock in the city but have to tie up in the industrial Port of Brisbane below the bridge (to the right of this photo). Here is a more recent shot of the bridges taken on the opposite bank: www.flickr.com/photos/fasene/8708541923/in/photostream.
