Sacred Ibis
Threskiornis aethiopica

Sacred Ibis often fly in a large group in a V-formation. All birds in the formation flap their wings simultaneously and all glide together. Although they feed mainly in swampy or water-covered ground they are often seen feeding in freshly ploughed fields and grasslands.
