A flock of Straw-necked Ibis landed in the area behind me. Unfortunately, in moving to try to photograph them I inadvertently spooked these skittish birds so they took off again. Later I saw a smaller flock land in an open area close to the southern edge of the reserve near Hughes. There was a group of four birds, two adults and two juveniles walking down the track. The birds were aware of me even though I did not follow them this time. In front of them were a group of people, so I think they felt hemmed in because they took-off. They flew in a northerly direction around the hill. Two birds landed in a tree not far away but a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo objected to their presence, forcing them out of the tree.
