Ibis again...

Late afternoon flight in front of the Oddie hide

A reflection

There are a lot of nice images of the Druridge glossy ibis appearing now that the bird has finally settled into a routine feeding in front of the Oddie hide - so here's a couple more from my session on Sunday 4th.

I wonder how long it will stay? Will it be part of the county furniture in a year or two time? a Northumberland "Sammy the stilt"... a "Dunge" ibis?... or will it disappear and become a memory of distant past, avoiding the county for another 20 years?

I'm hoping to have a go at the Cresswell buff-breasted... just need to finish these darn nightshifts...
