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.
