My World Tuesday #3

Barker Inlet Wetlands.
The beauty of Adelaide is that it is small I live 3 minutes from the beach and within an hour I can be in the hills, these wetlands are about 10 minutes away.

The pelicans were also looking for their breakfast.

My world # 3

Australian White Ibis.
My bird books says they have red naked skin under their wings which I have never noticed until looking at this photo. These birds always look dirty.

We ave lots of Ibis around here, probably plague proportions, but I never knew what that red bit was. Nice photos.

great pics as always.....!! I am getting closer to getting my new camera....woo hoo....I will be down for some lessons.....I just put my name down at Hetties for a pack of the Breast of Friends fabs......! I know....addicted!!

A lovely wetland to be so close to. Being in the eastern foothills it would be an expedition to go there although I would dearly love to snap up the birds you saw. The white Ibis is not always dirty looking, If you don't believe me, have a look at my weekly birds post one bird post down. I think perhaps the young birds don't have pure white feathers.
