It has cooled down somewhat today thank goodness and I even tackled the ironing this morning.
I saw this group of ibis on the rocks at Birubi on Wednesday. I looked them up to see what their collective noun was and discovered that they are called a colony if they are standing around and a wedge if they are in flight. This group were definitely just standing around. I think it was too hot for them to fly.
They are such interesting birds. We never used to get them out here in the central west, but have for the last 5 or so years....they must be slowly migrating to different areas.
@prettycheeses@randystreat They are really called ibis but known here in Australia as 'bin chickens' because they are such scavengers.
@leggzy They must be on the move, but we still have plenty here.
@casablanca I didn't have much ironing to do and I had the aircon on while I was doing it so I didn't faint even if it made you feel faint reading this.
@johnfalconer They aren't the prettiest of birds are they.
@clifford Ha ha they certainly do plenty of gossiping.
@pusspup Oh I like 'bagful' I will call them that from now on.
@robz Ha ha that would made a fun mascot wouldn't it.
Lovely shot of these birds. What a fabulous name!
