Great photos and especially good to catch the bird with some prey in its beak. The colors in the first photo are especially beautiful.

Wow, the bird surprised me when he/she cought the fish! How good of you to get this moment on your memory card!
I have never seen this bird, think it's amazing with that long beak!
Thanks Sallie for your sweet comment! :)
Have a good week! Greetings Pia

You were definitely in the right place at the right time to catch the Ibis fishing. Good work Sallie.

How awesome that you got one with a meal! I tried to get that same shot for two days when the ibises came, to no avail. You did great!

Nice shot - is the "thing" that it is eating a huge tadpole?

Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

You bless us with the most interesting photos and I enjoy them very much. No sign of wildlife here today, we're in the middle of a snow storm.

I really like this series of photos. That bird looks very happy after catching dinner, and who can blame him?
