Glossy Ibis: bye bye!

If the Ibis really has gone for good (and isn't going to sneak back in under the radar!) these are the final photos of it! On Monday I watched it grooming for half an hour before taking off and spiralling up to about 5000 feet, before flying strongly west.

It was a fabulous addition to the Strumpshaw list, allowing everyone who bothered to see it the chance of really good views and photos...
