I had a very unusual visitor this afternoon. I was organising dinner when I looked out my (clean at last) window, and in my garden I saw:
Not particularly unusual. Lots of magpies come to visit my garden. They like Ally's biscuits.
Then I saw:
A bit more unusual. I don't often get crows in my garden. So that was a bit kewl.
Then I noticed this little fellow:
By the time I got outside, he/she spotted me and hopped onto the fence.
Then he decided to come back:
Now this is totally unusual. This is the Sacred Ibis. We have them all over the area. But I've never seen one in my garden before. I took heaps of pictures before he finally flew off. Ally was not impressed with being locked in the house and as soon as he/she left, she was out there checking out HER garden to make sure everything was still fine.

Never seen a sacred Ibis before.
Cool. Love the strange beak.
I've seen them elsewhere, Kahless but not so close to home. He's (or she, as the case may be) a rather gorgeous isn't he/she?
