White Ibises

wading in wetlands
long curved-down bills and long legs
tiptoeing for food

As our wetlands disappear Charles, in Australia Ibis have migrated to the suburbs. Its nothing to have five or six ibis in our yard or on our roof. When in flight they are spectacular, as their wing span is very surprising. The write cockatoos are the only bird that will boss them around. The ibis aren't even scared of barking dogs.,,,Sydney councils seek help for ibis problem
