That one time I went to Egypt ... well, I scrapbooked my photos. Here's one of my favourite spreads featuring me on the right on top of Marvin the camel (the name I appointed my steed). Background images I cut from an Egyptian encyclopaedia.

Thoth - Egyptian god of Wisdom, creator of writing, head of an ibis. This is my kind of god.
See how legendary the ibis is? While the Australian white ibis is an Aussie native, it's pretty cool to have a distant cousin this epic.

On a trip to @australiazoo.bsky.social a few years ago, a friend and I saw this beautiful Australian glossy ibis. It’s so much smaller than the white ibis, but has that same signature long beak and slow, deliberate walk. #glossyibis #nativebird #australianwildlife #longbeaknobility #thenobleibis
