Threskiornis moluccus
A 'congregation' of approximately 50 Ibis (or is it Ibises?) feeding on some of the aquatic vegetation common to the wetlands area. Groups of birds can also be called a 'stand' and also a 'wedge'. Information on the species itself can be found at one of my previous spottings, also in Brisbane - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/273... Another spotting in the same wetlands area, of Magpie Geese. They co-exist quite happily with the ibis - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/187...
These birds were spotted at the Metroplex wetlands in Murarrie, Brisbane QLD. These photos show only a small fraction of the larger wetlands area.
