None of the ibis species will ever win a beauty competition but you captured the beauty of the Glossy's plummage very well.
Thanks Mike. I have a soft spot for the unloved ibises, even the humble AWI ("tip turkey"). The Glossy does have lovely plumage - as usual, capturing it is just about good light.

Wonderful captures.I have to say the 'purple swamhen' looks different than the ones we see in India.
Thanks very much. I gather there are quite a few species that are called by the same name.

Within 50 metres of the grassy knoll: Sacred Kingfisher, Eastern Yellow Robin, Kookaburra, Golden Whistler, Grey Fantail, Spotted Pardalotes, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Sulpher-crested Cockatoo, Fantail Cuckoo, White-faced Heron, Peregrine Falcon, Brown Falcon, Little Eagle, Wedge-tailed Eagle, Swamp Harrier, Brown Thornbill, Various Ducks and Swamp Hens, Willie Wagtail, Silver-eye, Noisy Miner, Eastern Rosella and probably more that I have and haven't seen. Just not all at once

Tawny Frogmouths nest within 15 metres of the Governor Road carpark.
So Craig, no Bald Eagles or Puffins?

Seriously, what a spot you have down there.
I've never been, but it must go on my bucket list.

Thanks Chris, I agree it's a nice pairing. Lucking out with some cooperative birds also helps.
