The Australian White Ibis
Australian White Ibis (Threskiornis molucca). I find these birds very hard to photograph. They are very timid and each time I come in a closer range ready to take the photo of them, they simply take off. Isn’t it frustrating :-). I took this photo a while ago but wasn’t very happy. The trees on the other side of the river cluttered the picture making it difficult to see the birds. I have managed to separate the birds from the messy background and blurred the trees significantly. I am submitting this photo to the Digital Darkroom.
