The reason they are so glossy...
...In actual fact the juveniles, which is what we mostly see here appear rather dull unless seen in bright sunlight. Click HERE to see a short phones-scope video clip of one of the five Glossy Ibis that have been visiting the deep water lake at Penclacwydd over the last few days, the birds coming in at irregular intervals for a quick brush up, usually staying only 5-10 minutes before heading off again. It's suspected that they are feeding in the fields to the north of the centre, but no one has tracked them down yet. Still hoping to see one in Gower one day!

Nice video Barry. Although there is a touch of the Benny Hill to it, or are they putting something in the water at Penclacwydd WWT these days! If they are it might certainly help our chances of seeing one in West Glam....
Great video Barry.
