    Glossy Ibis

    I just love to see the sunlight reflect off the feathers of the Glossy Ibis. Today numerous Glossy Ibis were present at the Viera Wetlands.

    Shame the feet are cut off but other than that its a lovely image, and I love the shiny feathers.

    I agree with the others - absolutely beautiful!

    The lighting and the preening action are both very appropriate to showcase the feathers.
