Glossy ibis

A glossy had been seen in the area of Thorncross for a week or so. The advice was to park at the end of the lane and walk to that area. So I parked up near a horse paddock and started on my journey to thorncross. However, not long after i started i suddenly put up a load of wood pigeons - but noticed another bird with them - it was the glossy ibis and it was flying off! A few expletives and with an uncertainty of what to do next, i decided on sticking there, which turned out to be a good move, as it duly returned. So i tried out my new smart phone mount for my telescope, but unfortunately the camera wanted to focus on the mesh fencing in front of it more than the ibis...
