MY WORLD, World Bird Wednesday - Sacred Ibis

What you can find in a major metropolis . . . Australian White

or Sacred Ibis, Treskiornis molucca, perfectly adapted to the

urban environment thrive as scavengers from rubbish bins with

their long beaks ideal for sorting through the leftovers and

aerating the lawns of sports-fields as a sideline.

Nice to watch them landing as you wait for the game to begin.

Beautiful angel-wings but a bit of a vulture face . . .

OK, all eyes on the game as our granddaughter hustles the ball!

Shot in Sydney, Australia and of course they all enlarge.

Thanks to MY WORLD and World Bird Wednesday for making

these memes possible.

MY WORLD ~ 43 Away with the Faeries

With these two pictures of the Prof's park I leave
you for a little while. Tomorrow we depart for Sydney,
a round trip of some 2,000 miles. The object of our
pilgrimage is our youngest g-daughter's 3rd concert
for the year playing violin in the Australian Junior Youth
Orchestra. The first two we missed for unforseen reasons
and are now all the more determined to put in a statutory
grandparental appearance.

Since it is inadvisable for me to take to the skies, it will
take a number of days for us to drive the distance in easy
stages. Again, my health is the prime reason for our tardy
progress. Although I will be equiped not only with my trusty
Nikon but my computer as well, signals for internet will seldom
be available and posts will be few if any.
Apologies to those of you who expected the next exciting episode
of my water pollution post, it will make an appearance on the
first available occasion.
Please feel free to leave comments which I do enjoy so very much.

Until we meet again, stay well, stay happy and God bless you all!
