Glossy Ibis - Plegadis falcinellus
Yet another of the Glossy Ibis I'm afraid but I took lots of shots as I didn't know when or if ever I'd be lucky enough see one again.
Its not that they don't turn up occasionally but I have missed them before due to other commitments so I took no chances this time round.
I keep coming across shots that show off the beautiful iridescence of the plumage even when the conditions were overcast and raining as was the situation here. I suppose the available light reflected off of the mud helped this somewhat though it never does much to help me as far as getting a decent shot goes.
A beautiful bird indeed.
