Looks like you rescued it from the duckweed bin just in time... That's a beautiful bird, and the green of all that duckweed makes a great backdrop for him...

I am please you collected this one from the bin. He is so pretty!! We only have the black and white ones here. Thanks for sharing something different with me. Lyn.
"What is that" ?? LOL ... He may not be the cutest thing around but between the stare and his colorful feathers it makes it a great capture ... Great job.

Strange this because I was just looking at glossy ibis the other day, I didn't know they exist. Apparently the glossy green only comes in adulthood. They're beautiful birds and you did a fantastic job of capturing the iridescent feathers on this one. Love the way you've photographed it against the bright green of the pond weed too.
