Strange Bird

I was very excited to get this shot when I was encountered this bird in Brisbane. To my surprice, they are everywhere. My Australian friend, what is the name of this bird?

[Joyce]

What a great shot. Lovely detail.

It looks like a white ibis but I'm sure a true Australian will be able to confirm. Captured well.

[Chris K]

Yes Yao it is an ibis. Hope you are enjoying Brisbane and I know you will get many great shots while you are there

[sally agnew]

A great shot of an Ibis :)

[Babs]

As the Aussie's above have said, it is an ibis. Not the prettiest of birds are they.

[Wylie]

Yes, yes an Ibis, protect your picnic!

[Krista Marson]

The Egyptians would worship the ibis and I think that archaeologists have found more mummified ibis than people.

[Denise Wood]

Definitely an ibis - classed as a great pest in Brisbane!!

[eDorre]

Great capture!
