Hunter Wetlands Centre sacred ibis

I headed off to the ibis area to practise my BIF shots

Getting ready to land

The white-faced heron was not impressed

It decided two was a crowd

This one tried to land in the middle, but there just wasn't enough room

Landing on the plants in the pond

Having something to say while flying

Against a beautiful spring sky

Low flight

Just landed

They are beautiful in flight

Wonderful "practice" (huh!) shots Birdgirl. Love the interplay b/w the ibis and the heron, well-captured moments.

I've succumbed to the birding bug!

I love the photo showing the disgruntled heron. A lovely series of shots.

Great seires Birdgirl. I like the ones with the red strip right under the wing is showing.

Cheers, Owen.

Lovely BIF shots Kim.... even though they are so common here they certainly are beautiful in flight with those lovely wingspans
