The sun is shining again after a few days of rain.
I wandered down to the foreshore this morning and close to the picnic tables there is a dog bowl so picknickers can give their dogs a drink of water.
I spotted this ibis trying to have a drink. How on earth do they get the water from the bowl to their mouth. He definitely needs a straw.
Sorry I have been a bit absent, but we were out for dinner again last night with friends. It is a busy week. Out again for lunch tomorrow too. That is four days eating out in a week. I am going to forget how to cook at this rate 😂
@rickster549 Ibis drink by tilting their head to one side and submerging their beak. Probably not enough room in that dog bowl for him to do that. A for effort though. Nice shot Babs. Well spotted.
@tiaj1402 We generally have a normal meal one night and a light meal the next, so this week I have only had light meals to cook. Pumpkin soup tonight as we are out for lunch tomorrow and then mushroom omelette on Friday.
Makes one wonder doesn’t it? You would think it would at least need some kind of tongue, but I don’t see one. Maybe it is wishful think on the bird’s part.
I would have thought this bird would drink by scooping water in its bill, but now that I think about it, I really don't know. Perhaps a morsel of food (insect, maybe) is floating about in the water dish.
So nice to see the sun today
Enjoy your special evenings!
