Scientific name
Threskiornis spinicollis
April 17, 2005: Swan Valley, Western Australia
Spotted these birds from the car while we were driving around to visit wineries in Swan Valley (only Kevin and Helen were actually doing any wine tasting). Fortunately, I was able to hop out and get some decent photos. They almost look like the negative of the Sacred Ibis – dark bodies and light-colored necks. Very cool birds.

I was glad to see another flock of these interesting birds at Banrock Station.
Let me know what you think!
