\n\tAn ibis species was flushed from Nadin’s flash on the morning of 17th September 2006 by a local <\/span>birder. However it was unfortunately not confidently identified and was put out on the Pager Network <\/span>as a possible Glossy Ibis. (Puna Ibis had not been eliminated).<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bird flew off strongly to the North <\/span>and was not seen again during the day. The finder visited the site at dusk and watched the bird <\/span>return to roost. On the morning of the 18th, 3 local birders and myself visited the site at 07:45hrs and <\/span>at 07:50 we had relocated the bird and confirmed the ID as a Glossy Ibis.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tThe bird was found feeding on the edge of the small flash and very quickly took flight and circled <\/span>around for several minuted before landing and dropping out of sight onto private land. The bird went <\/span>missing for the next half an hour or so, despite intensive searching. <\/span>At around 09:30 the Glossy Ibis was relocated back on the flash and the news was again put out on <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tthe pager networks. The bird eventually departed high to the north at 11am and was seen flying over <\/span>Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire at 11:20am.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tThe main ID features were – The whole foot and part of the leg protruded beyond the tail. In Puna <\/span>Ibis only the toes project beyond the tail as the legs are shorter on Puna Ibis. Our bird showed a <\/span>long slender neck and a dark eye. Puna Ibis shows a shorter neck and a red eye, particularly during <\/span>the breeding season. The Glossy Ibis had very iridescent plumage, often showing green & purplish brown in the sunlight. This was the first modern day record in Derbyshire since 1923. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
