The window is brief, as a tropical sundown can seem as swift as a blanket thrown over a birdcage, but the ibis do not disappoint. In the day's last light, pack after pack of ibis fly in from the west, swoop in low over the sun-brightened water, alighting on an island of mangrove trees - one of eight or so roosting...
