EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a fancy buffet when you have carrion in the desert? This Northern Bald Ibis knows how to dine in style! With its sleek feathers and determined gaze, this adult ibis is on a mission to find the perfect meal beside some decaying carcasses. Talk about being resourceful! Hailing all the way from Morocco, this rare and endangered species, known as Geronticus eremita, showcases its resilience in adapting to harsh desert environments. November seems like the perfect time for our feathered friend to embark on its culinary adventure. With their distinctive bald heads (hence the name), these magnificent creatures are truly one-of-a-kind. Their presence adds an exotic touch to both Asian and African landscapes. It's no wonder they're considered nature's fashionistas! But let's not forget that these birds play a crucial role in preserving wildlife diversity. As critically endangered hermit ibises, they remind us of the importance of conservation efforts across North Africa and beyond. So next time you stumble upon a print of this scene captured by FLPA/Robin Chittenden, take a moment to appreciate nature's quirks and marvel at how even something as unappetizing as carrion can become an exquisite feast for our avian friends.
