Ibis on the oval

Straw-necked Ibis - Threskiornis spinicollis

I tried a few times to capture a photo of this pair on the oval, but sharing with children
made it difficult as I carefully edged closer to the pair, along came a bouncing football
and off they flew. I've desaturised the grass, it wasn't in that great a shape, & nothing
like the beautiful greens I've seen on other pbaser's shots.

Well worth the wait.

Very good capture,Yvonne. They look like interested spectators here. Perhaps their favourite team has just scored a goal!

Nice how desaturation works out here, special moment, together they stand on both feet. ;)
