African Sacred Ibis
Threskiornis aethiopicus

(Above) Abu Nakhla, Qatar, 20 March 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

Not yet fully mature, this individual is deemed to be an escape from captive origins. Although providing a pleasing sight, the effect of artificial introduction of this species to non-native areas is not to be underestimated (as per the experience in South West France, among other places).
