GLOSSY IBIS  Plegadis falcinellus

Not a good shot! The Glossy Ibis was a good distance away and it is quite a small bird, I was surprised when I first spotted it. At this point it had been at Summer Leys LNR in Northamptonshire for a couple of months. 

Glossy Ibis are becoming more common in the Uk but still regarded as scarce.
