Glossy Ibis Draws Curious Brent Geese at Strangford Lough
Original: “What are you?!” One of the Light-Bellied # BrentGeese interrogating a visiting # GlossyIbis on # StrangfordLough near #
A glossy ibis, a rare visitor to Northern Ireland, has been spotted at Strangford Lough near the WWT Castle Espie wetland centre, where it was photographed being closely approached by a light-bellied brent goose. Birdwatchers in the area are sharing sightings of the unusual encounter, as the species is not normally found among the lough's regular wintering flocks.
Why now: Rare bird sightings attract keen interest from birdwatchers and nature lovers, especially when captured in an amusing interaction.
