The poor old white ibis is much maligned - it's hard to believe that it's not got something to do with it's general lack of attractiveness.   There's no doubt the species does breed well when there's ample food (but which species doesn't?).   But really, does it really deserve  monikers like "Bin Bird", "Dumpster Diver", Flying Rat.... and I could go on?

POST SCRIPT:

Having bitten off more than I could chew in the early part of this year, I was unable to produce the catalogue which enables me to post daily on this blog while on our annual migration to the other side of the world.

I did manage to gather a scattering of photos over the last few weeks of my stay this year so sadly will now make this a weekly blog until our return from places other than this one.

Thank you for your understanding. Hopefully we'll resume full transmission some time in November in the meantime feel free to keep up with our travels on our other daily blog, Fading Memories.
