Glossy Ibis- Plegadis Falcinellus
Flocks of Glossy Ibis forage quite close together, advancing slowly as they probe a muddy area. This activity often attracts Snowy Egrets and other species of waders, which capture minnows and other prey moving away from the feeding ibis flocks.
Glossy Ibises nest in colonies, often among other species of ibis, heron, egret, or spoonbill. Colonial nesters have the advantage of many extra sets of eyes looking out for predators. Colonies might also be places where highly gregarious species like ibises can share information about the most productive foraging areas.
Glossy Ibis is a cosmopolitan species, also found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. In recent decades, its population in Spain has been increasing rapidly, probably helped by increased rice cultivation there. Glossy Ibises banded in Spain have turned up as far away as Barbados, having crossed the Atlantic—a remarkable feat but one that several species of heron and egret have managed as well.
The oldest recorded Glossy Ibis was at least 21 years old and lived in Virginia between 1971 and 1992.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and at some point in time I will have to start to celebrate fall… So lets start with today’s picture. If you are wondering what my title means : kasztany is chestnuts in Polish. During my childhood it was very popular in Poland to collect chestnuts and making figurines with them. We had such great time playing with our chestnuts people or animals. Few years ago I tried to show this awesome activity to my sons but frankly they had no interest at all in chestnuts. The older one tried to eat the raw chestnut and the longer one was afraid to touch the chestnut since it was on the ground and « dirty » (yes he was already a germaphobe, and it doesn’t come from my side !!). The chestnuts activity was disaster. This week I found this huge chestnut near my house and I couldn’t resist ! I feel a little bit like this old man on the top: slightly outdated while playing with chestnuts…
See you later my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!

Boiling mud pools and lakes are a feature of Kairua Park in Rotorua, NZ. Noted for these features plus geysers, and volcanic activity Rotorua is one of the top destinations for tourists visiting the country. A sulphur smell pervades the region
Are there extraterrestrials living among us on earth? What do they do? These are the type of questions humans have debated for ages, and after a weekend at Death Valley National Park, I believe I am ready to solve them. Speculate no more, as aliens are playful creatures who, it turns out, live in the mountains around The Racetrack Playa and come out every full moon to move around rocks.
Why you might ask, would aliens do this when there are so many things they could see and do on earth? The answer is simple: to mess with tourists. It’s probably a higher calling on their planets. As the legend goes, no one has ever seen these rocks in Death Valley National Park move. Nonsense. As the hit film Men in Black taught us, aliens have the power to erase our minds. Heck, there’s a good chance I saw aliens the night I took this photo. I don’t remember seeing them, but I cannot say definitively that I did not see them....
