Yet another Australian White Ibis

Australian White Ibis

Normally, we will see Australian White Ibises flying over Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boore. On occasion, they do land on the oval next to Trin. This picture was taken on 18 September 2024. It was an overcast day which makes it ideal to photograph the White Ibis. White Ibises are high contrast subjects which takes it very difficult to photograph in bright sunlight.

Australian White Ibis (a.k.a. Bin Chicken)

Australian White Ibis

Occasionally, we will encounter the Australian White Ibis at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore. A couple of Ibis turned up in the morning of 20 June 2024 at the oval next to the park. Ibis are common but can be quite difficult to photograph as they have black skin and white feathers which lend itself to over-exposure in bright sun light. Fortunately, that morning was overcast which provided a nice soft light that is ideal to capture a decent photograph of the Ibis.
