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). 🙂
Beautiful pics … and you had me laughing with the one in Washington.
It’s good to laugh at these sorts of situations…… 😉
Absolutely!
დ
Very cute! He has a right to admire himself. He is very cute.
He certainly is!! 😉
🙂🙂
Loved it!
Happy you did & thanks! დ
😀 Good analogy!
Grazie mille დ
Ha! So true, so true.
Sad too. I hear it is snowing in Colorado and it was 113F here yesterday… Strange days are upon us.
Expected Denver high today 94. Low tonight 34. High tomorrow 38. 😱
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.
Ah, a bin chicken. Are they edible?
You must be really hungry…
Beautiful pictures Cindy, love the reflections, well photographed, kind regards.
Thanks much my friend & cheers to you დ
He’s looking at his reflection and said, “Hello gorgeous, you’re heron time!” LOL!

Cracking up….. You are so witty დ

These are great shots, Cindy, thanks.
The fourth down, catching the droplet is marvellous!
Awww, thanks much my friend & cheers to you დ
Bless you. ♥

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.
They are most unusual looking birds and you definitely notice them the first times you encounter them დ
Was für ein selbstverliebter Kerlm, lächeln – oder war es eine Frau?…
Es könnte auch sein! Prost, mein Freund დ
Great pics and very clever! It took me a minute to get the reference, but that’s because I haven’t had my morning caffeine yet, so my brain is slow…..
I am feeling just like this these days too! დ
What great pictures. Love his ruffled looks.
Thanks much. He is quite puffed with himself! 😉
He certainly did get his feathers ruffled! Great looking bird.
Yes, he got quite puffy! დ
Ruffled feathers and all! Fabulous photos, Cindy!
Grazie mille Jennie დ
This one gave me smile, Cindy! I’d never heard of a narcissus…you are always teaching me something new.
Happy I made you smile Sheila & cheers დ
He is not looking good and pretty aggressive on the last two pictures. But he has some charm because of that.
Aggressively charming 😉
Beautiful pic!
Grazie დ
He’s gorgeous and full of his own impawtancy…MOL😸Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday🐾😽💞
Laughing…..Thanks for the chuckle დ
Wonderful 🙂
Grazie დ
They’re so beautiful! 😍
I’ve never wanted to hold a bird close more than I do right now.
Awww, how lovely Giada. Thank you დ
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.
🙂
Oh que c’est merveilleux! Merci beaucoup pour le partage avec moi et bravo à vous!
Great title! And he is very handsome and super cute as he gazes into the pool!
He is a very handsome bird, and he agrees with both of us 😉
Crazy looking hey? Just hanging out looking dapper when BAM ! Cindy goes and ruffles up all them feathers, LOL ! The before and after made me laugh so hard! xK
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! 😉
Lol – A very unique bird, with a name, i would not have given to him.;-) Michael
Thanks much Michael and happy you like him დ
:-))
Very beautiful post.
Thank you very much Raj დ
Fantastic photos🤩

Love to you Leya & thank you დ
