A bird find in parts of Africa, Asia and Australasia but is monotypic .
The smallest Australian Ibis, his a beautiful metallic bronze gloss when seen in full sunlight. Feeds on grassy edges of freshwater pools, has a preference of shallow waters.
Nests either on flats rafts of reeds located in small swamps or up in paperbark trees on flat twig nests with leaves as base.
