Glossy Ibis, Plegadis falcinellus.

The Glossy Ibis, Plegadis falcinellus. I set off very early on the morning of the 24 September 2010.  hoping to catch the sunrise over the reed beds, but out of all the days of cloudless skies. we had a lovely cloudy sky. had some good shots of the fog on the Nile  then watched the balloons rising out of the mist,
 the reason we have both mist and fog.  it sounds better than  clouds of smoke  made by the fires; the locals tend to make fires early morning;- God knows why But we are in Egypt and another God knows why,
Maybe its so he can show me another one of his creation the Ibis, and what a wonderfull sight it is seeing them coming in out of the clouds, and circling the area they are about to land on,

they tend to land where the Little white Egrets have already started to hunt . knowing thats a safe place to land  no humans about, they feed around cattle  but first sight of a human they are off  they get spooked by the egrets flying off .

   here I managed to get a bit closer  about 50yards  because they where on their own;-no egrets in the group,
