Have a Happy and safe Fence Friday, everyone. Keep warm (if you're above the equator) or cool (if you're down here with me).

These are Australian Ibises, commonly (and derogatorily) called Tip Turkeys or Bin Chickens after their penchant for scavenging food in waste bins. It's a shame really, as they are very useful in gardens and farms, using their long curved beaks to forage for grubs in the soil. We (Mrs Owl and I) are visited daily by one we have named Libby who fossicks around the bushes and plants in our garden.

Strangely beautiful birds Old Owl. It must be lovely to have such exotic visitors to your garden.
The gardens in this complex at the moment are also full of holes, - large ones caused by foraging badgers!!

HFF and have a good weekend
