Hi all,
For any visitor to Perth wishing to see Glossy
Ibis, Herdsman Lake (Floreat Waters and Maurice Hamer parts) is probably the
best place. Last week there was a flock of 60 including some in breeding
plumage. What was interesting were numerous ibis sunning themselves in the
mid day sun. The birds would twist and conform their wings into unusual
positions, probably to ensure the max. exposure to the sun. I have never seen
any of the three ibis species sunning before and I was wondering if this
behaviour is confined to the Glossy?
Best Regards Wynton
