details :-The Black-headed Ibis (Threskiornis melanocephalus) is a species of wading bird of the ibis family Threskiornithidae, which breeds in South Asia and Southeast Asia from Pakistan to India, Sri Lanka east upto Japan. It builds a stick nest in a tree and lays 2-4 eggs.

It occurs in marshy wetlands inland and on the coast, where it feeds on various fish, frogs and other water creatures, as well as on insects.

Adults are typically 75cm long and white-plumaged, with some greyer areas on the wings. The bald head, the neck and legs are black. The thick curved bill is dusky yellow. Sexes are similar, but juveniles have whiter necks and a black bill.

Hi, this is a good inflight shot of the ibis. Not always easy to catch a bird in flight, so I say: Well Done!
