India! Black-headed and Glossy Ibis

Black-headed and Glossy Ibis: Chambal River, Rajasthan, India, March 2023 — After a morning Tiger drive at Rathambore (again unsuccessful) we took a drive to the Chambal River. We had already had a boat tour on the river further downstream, and, honestly, after that, we did not have high hopes for this tour…but it turned out to be completely different. Lots of birds, gars, crocodiles…a throughly enjoyable hour and half on the river, cold and hot drinks in the shade on the shore when we got back. And a camel in fancy dress! What more could you ask for. And that was the Chambal River redeemed 🙂 This is a Black-headed and a Glossy Ibis in the same frame, which gives you a good idea of just how big the Black-headed is! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4.5 @ 1/1000th.
