Black-headed Ibis at Sangam

During our trip to Mysore, we also visited Sangam.  We could spot some birds here and one of them is Black-headed Ibis.



They have white-plumage with some greyer areas on the wings. The bald head, the neck and legs are black. The thick down curved bill is dusky yellow. 


Their diet is fish, frogs and other water creatures, as well as on insects. 


It can be seen walking around on marshy land probing with its bill into soft mud and shallow water.
