Australian white ibis and chick I spotted movement very high up in a palm tree and through the camera lens saw an occupied ibis nest. First time for me, usually seeing them at ground level. <br /> <br /> Australia,Australian White Ibis,Aves,Geotagged,Pelecaniformes,Threskiornis molucca,Threskiornithidae,Winter,bird,fauna,new south wales,vertebrate,wading bird Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
