Although they are very common and often seen as pests around town, and we are supposed to have them In Tassie, yet to see one here. Taken at Ballina, Northern NSW, recently.

They are a pest , we get so many here in W.A. but they are still lovely birds and make very good subjects to photogragh.

I love them, last year I took lots of photos of a large colony feeding their young.
The feather details in your photo are stunning, the white , pink and grey is so beautiful. Great photo

I like their big noisy colonies, but how are they pests? I like them walking around in parks and in the city.
Great detailed photos!
Tim, White Ibis have learned to scavenge artificial foods in urban places becoming pests. Their populations are also declining in their natural habitat, e.g. wetlands.

Ok, thanks Curtis.
Absolutely fabulous shots Dale! I take it you took a break to the big island recently
. Hope you had a wonderful time, and took lots of pics to share (hint hint 
).

Calling the White Ibis a pest is rather like blaming the victim in my opinion. I suspect they're simply increasing their numbers in accordance with the available food supply, especially since many of their natural habitats have been vandalised & destroyed by humans. It's the wasteful humans who are the pests since they throw away so much food in their profligate societies, I suggest.
Woko, agree with your sentiment, it is the birds who suffer in the long run. Annie, short escape to Tasmania's northern territories, the camera went along for the ride, was not the intent of the break, so Ibis were the only photos I took.
Thanks all for looking.

Great pics. I agree they are great subjects for photography. Wonderfully adaptable birds as well.
