Description

"The Northern Bald Ibis is a migratory bird which was native in Central Europe until the 17th century, before it became extinct due to the huge hunting pressure. Today the Northern Bald Ibis is one of the most endangered bird species worldwide. In the context of an EU project (LIFE+ Biodiversity), with partners in Austria, Italy and Germany, the species is to be reintroduced in Europe." http://waldrapp.eu/ Maybe not the prettiest bird in the world, but very interesting and this guy posed so nicely 8=) Took this picture in the Nuremberg zoo.

Okay, schön ist was anderes aber interessant sieht der Bursche schon aus, vor allem in dieser imposanten Körperhaltung. Ein super Foto und Danke für die interessanten Informationen.

Outstanding shot - very sharp & I like the way you've framed it with his wings. He looks like he would make a very scary fantasy movie villain...

Sad but true, Mr. K.! I heard it works pretty well, at least in southern Austria.

I love his expression. "Oh great, here comes ANOTHER person with a camera. OK, stand up straight, open the wings. Come on and take the picture already." An outstanding image of a rare bird. Beautifully framed.
