Plegadis falcinellus
This species has a brownish bill, dark facial skin bordered above and below in blue-gray (non-breeding) to cobalt blue (breeding), and red-brown legs. Unlike herons, ibises fly with necks outstretched, their flight being graceful and often in V-formation.
It was observed in Doñana National Park, Andalucía Spain, where there is one of the biggest breeding colonies of Europe.
