We went to Coolart Wetlands (Vic) today, the Ibis were busy building their communal nest at the edge of a lagoon. There was a lot of mating going on. I took a few hundred photos, here are some.
What was really funny, the girl Ibis didn’t even stop arranging sticks while they were mating .
The girls know where the priorities are... LOL. Great pics.
Same here today, I went to Tomato Lake in Belmont where there are so many Ibis building nest and making families.![](http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3763/9486731322_17ac819c2d_c.jpg)

Even sex for them is a shared event
, I have some photos where the guy simply turns around after the deed,and takes (can't be described any other way
) the girl sitting next to him.
Why is that lake called "Tomato Lake"?
