Australian White Ibis Waramanga ACT
About 7.45 pm, a flock of white ibis circled over a timbered reserve
immediately behind our residence, then settled for about 20 minutes in
an old yellow box E. melliodora, amidst a roost of noisy sulphur
crested cockatoos. 25 counted. At about 8.10 pm 22 departed in a
north-easterly direction leaving a small number behind. First ever
sighting of this bird in 15+ years residence in this Weston area
suburb. By contrast, Straw necked ibis occasionally seen foraging on
nearby grassed school yards and other open grassy areas, usually in
cooler months.

At 0815 this morning I was alerted by the unmistakable raucous call of
a Channel-billed Cuckoo. I then observed the bird flying southeast
towards Chapman.
