User's notes

I noticed a lone Straw-necked Ibis perched in a dead tree. The next time I looked there was an Australian White Ibis in the same tree, neither bird that fussed about the other. I then also noticed a group of seven Straw-necked Ibis all perched in a different dead tree preening themselves.

There is also an Australian White Ibis on the left of the last picture.

Hi Natureguy, yes, I noticed the Australian White Ibis but just got lazy and decided not to note it:-)
