A new visitor....

For the past three days I have spotted this Ibis just wandering casually down the nature strip across the road. Not absolutely sure it has been the same one, and I have seen two together only once. There are quite a lot in a large local park, and they must spread around a bit. Best I could get avoiding any fences in the shot:

Ibis's are strange looking birds, apparently the do appear in the UK very rarely though.

Rye we only used to see Ibis when the soil was moist where we used to live, and only out in natural areas. Here is different they seem to be always in the park and more used to people, so not as 'flighty', and the day after I posted this we got 3!:

Not perfect because they were further away and taken through my kitchen window. Guess I will see them again.

I do remember Denis saying that he saw them everywhere when he was in Melbourne in Dec 2019
