Hadeda Ibis are not exactly the quietest bird I know, and we have a pair that arrive in our back garden very early most mornings, to feed off the insects in our lawn.

Freshly cut lawn? :) Sharp details, nice.
I especially like the brown colors and the touch of red at the beak & feet :toast:

Wonderful detail and light, Ken. I like the raised foot. Nothing like a good dawn chorus to get one out of bed.
