Nice pic; there have been 2-3 @Wetlands recently; are they still there?

I arrived at Jerra Wetlands just before noon and when i got out of my car a very excited voice said "Is that a Glossy Ibis Shorty". The bird was quite distant and flying away from us so i took some shots but he was quite confident that it was.

 

I have just checked my pics, very big crop and had to bring up the shadows but i can now answer the young mans question. "Yes, it is a Glossy Ibis" 😀

 

The bird was heading toward LBG so a look around the lake could be worth while.

 

With my bad memory for names i have forgotten his already so perhaps he could reply to the chatline so the just credit for the sighting goes to him.
