I – Ibis and Iris
The straw necked ibis can be called a ‘bin chicken’ or ‘dumpster diver’ as they are often seen on top of dumpsters or rubbish bins in the northern parts of Australia. This photo was taken while on tour from Darwin to Broome in 2021.
Iris species
There are many iris species in Australia. This purple one was taken between Albany and Esperance where I drove through the Stirling Ranges. Here is a PDF explaining many of the plants found in the Stirling Ranges.
I loved seeing all the birds taking advantage of tourists when I travelled.

I have irises in my garden — they look quite different to the one pictured — and hadedas — a kind of ibis that also looks different from the one pictured. Diversity is awesome.
