Glossy Ibis

 

As we work our way towards the Masai Mara our next stop takes us to Lake Naivasha where we stayed at the Naivasha Simba Lodge. Our excursion around Lake Naivasha in a small fishing boat with just us and a guide took us into all kinds of small isolated bays where we were able to observe a wide variety of birds.

The Glossy Ibis is a medium-sized wading bird with compact body, long neck, long legs, and long, curved bill.


Glossy Ibises occur in flocks, both at nesting colonies and when foraging. They typically feed by lowering the bill into water, mud, or soil, to feel for prey, and they often feed among many other species of wading birds.
