Hi Jeanette

You are selling yourself short there JJJ – that is a terrific collection of Ibis in flight photos! You’ve retained some lovely detail in both the shadows and the highlights, which is really quite a challenge (well, to me at least!) for black and white birds against a bright sky background, zooming along at a gazillion miles an hour!

The last photo looks gorgeous – the graceful sweep of the wings and the subtle tones reveal the details in the feathers without burning them out to a featureless white mass.

I think the 1st one is a Straw Necked Ibis and the others are of the Australian White Ibis (see, I can read books!).

Cheers

Dennis
