Out of curiousity on those leg bands, is this bird captive or just tagged for tracking? Thanks for sharing. Best regards - Reyno

Sep 27, 2006 07:41 | #5 Heheh you're being a great help this evening Trace. Thanks. I suspected it might have been a Glossy Ibis, but wasn't game to name it as such. Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.

Trace Senior Member More info | Sep 27, 2006 07:55 | #6 No probs Dale. Have loved Aussie birds for as long as can remember. A couple of good reference books are Australian Birds, Donald and Molly Trouson, and Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, Simpson and Day. The fomer however is large format with colour photos (which is great) and the latter is small and handy for field trips but art work and sometimes not true to colour, but still very handy. Trace
