Once known as a breeding bird in Eastern Europe, the Glossy Ibis made a comeback in France in 2006. At first glance, the Glossy Ibis may appear black, but upon closer inspection, it is actually a rusty color with beautiful metallic green highlights. Its beak is long, downward-curved, and quite slender. Its long, blackish legs are perfectly adapted for walking in an aquatic environment.

Glossy ibises undertake dispersal movements after breeding and are highly nomadic. The more northerly populations are fully migratory and travel on a broad front, for example across the Sahara Desert. Populations in temperate regions breed during the local spring, while tropical populations nest to coincide with the rainy season. Nesting is often in mixed-species colonies. When not nesting, flocks of over 100 individuals may occur on migration, and during the winter or dry seasons the species is usually found foraging in small flocks. Glossy ibises often roost communally at night in large flocks, with other species, occasionally in trees which can be some distance from wetland feeding areas.
