I made the mistake of letting enthusiasm override common sense and went to Herdsman's Lake, a large, permanent wetland at about midday yesterday. Bad time for lighting. Lots of birds around, including these Glossy Ibis, which I either haven't seen or haven't noticed before. They would have to be the most nervous and wary birds I've come across and not long after I took this shot they exploded into the air. (Something like your Downy, Nanny).
