Hadeda Ibis

[Stu Bowie]

One of the noisiest birds with a very distinctable call. I managed to capture this fellow in early morning light to show up the iridescence on his near wing.

Yeah, I remember seeing and hearing these guys when I went to your part of the world:). Nice to have the iridescence visible, good down wing stroke too. TFS.

[Raybel Robles]

Great sharp image. The down pose wings is always nice in BIF. Well done.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice wings down flight pose in nice light, Stu. Good sharpness and detail.

[Mike Poole]

The iridescence was the first thing that caught my eye before I read your text, love to see it. Great full downstroke, another nice shot.
