We have one in Washington.
I wasn’t expecting to see one in Sydney.
Thankfully, he didn’t seem political,
mostly just optical,
and clearly in love with the view!
He got quite ruffled up, and vociferously tweeted,
when a photographer disrupted his adored self reflection!
Cheers to you from the vainglorious Ibis in Oz~
I think this feathered wouldn’t like the comparison to the other one (LOL). 🙂

It is so strange. It was in 113F here two days ago (so the the electric company shut down our power) and it was 76F all day today, cloudy and smoky.

These photos strike me as very unusual. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photograph of an ibis, just pen and ink illustrations of them in old books.

He is not looking good and pretty aggressive on the last two pictures. But he has some charm because of that.

Cela me rappel le poème l’ibis de Pierre Coran…
Sorry I do not find any translation of it but here is in French :
Un ibis avait un bec
Comme le sabre d’un cheik.
Aussi, notre volatile,
Au mépris des crocodiles,
Becquetait, becquetait-il,
Des serpents le long du Nil,
Becqueta, becqueta tant
Qu’il mourut en becquetant.
Dans le ventre de l’ibis,
On trouva deux tournevis,
Deux tubes de dentifrice,
Deux épingles à nourrice,
Deux étoiles de police,
Et deux balles de tennis.
Puisqu’il trouvait fabuleux,
De becqueter tout par deux,
De Port-Saïd à Tunis,
On l’appelait l’ibis bis.

They are hilarious and so are your comments! I have seen roadrunners fluff up like this in the presence of rattlesnakes. I was fairly offended that the ibis treated me like a snake! 😉
