I can never get a close up of this one, it always sees me & walks off. I managed to get this shot through a window. Lens aperture F/5, shutter speed 1/159sec, focal length 56mm, ISO 80, location, taken at 9:30am.

A nice presentation, Chris!
I met some Sacred Ibis in Victoria, and they could be bribed with hot potato chips! It is just a thought! #8520574

Thank you all for you welcome comments. He sees me feeding the other birds but still isn't game enough to come any closer, but I will keep trying. #8520669

It's an ibis- but I haven't seen this kind before. At least you got this! I often get shots through the window before the critters scamper away. #8529593

What a superb capture of this beautiful...and elusive (for you!)...bird, Chris!! :o) That's the spirit, though - keep trying, and you might yet win him over!! Perhaps some hot chips, like John suggested, might be the go - lol!! ;o) #8542496
