Observation details

I reach the site at around 11am, and straight away saw 1 big size dark colour bird feeding at the side of one of the ponds together with egrets, herons & other waders... it only gave few minutes to get some record shots (very harsh lighting) before it flew more than 50m deeper & preening there for another few minutes... after preening, it left the pond... at around 3:40pm, i saw a big size black bird flew to the same pond and landed exactly the same patch where i first saw glossy ibis at noon, again it was the glossy ibis feeding there... this time it stayed for around 5 minutes before a group of buffaloes came in and chased the ibis away... this was my last sighting of the ibis on 24 November... no sighting of the ibis on 25 November morning...
