BJ's Birding Lessons - Part 7 - Ibises

There are three species of ibis that can be seen in the Perth metro area. One is VERY common and familiar, the other is slightly less common, and one is considered rare in Perth, although there is one place where you can reliably see a lot of them. Ibises are wading birds closely related to egrets and spoonbills and can be identified by their downcurved beaks. In Ancient Egypt ibises were regarded as gods.

Writer's Block: You're a Winner!

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I have. Quite a few times. There was a stage where I was entering every competition in the TV Hits magazines I used to buy all the time. I'd have prizes show up on my doorstep and I'd go, "Huh, what's this? What the heck did I enter to win THAT?"

But there was a better win earlier when I was 10. I put one entry into a country-wide competition on Agro's Cartoon Connection to win a bunch of Matchbox Carousel stuff (the carousel, the display stand, and 17 horses/animals). I won it. It's beautiful and I still have it and it's probably worth quite a bit now being Matchbox and all and the fact that they only made them for about 3 years in the early 90s.
