Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis) Kununurra WA Australia
Canon EOS 40D Lens 100-400mm L IS USM at 235 mm ISO 400 F7.1 1/1250 fill flash13 September 2009
Initially I felt that this Straw-necked Ibis may have had an injured wing, however then I saw that other birds in the group adopted this pose after drinking so perhaps it is part their grooming and/or sunning behaviour. Any comments on other species of Ibis??
Thanks for viewing
Best regards
