The Australian White Ibis is common in wetlands, but is also found in urban areas and sheltered coastal environments. It is a dirty white colour, with a black head, legs and secondary tail feathers. It has an extremely long, curved bill. These features all ensure that it is not easily mistaken for any other species.
