The ibisbill (Ibidorhyncha struthersii) is a unique bird native to the shingle riverbanks of central Asia and the Himalayas. It features a striking appearance with grey plumage, a white belly, red legs, and a long down-curved bill, resembling that of an ibis. Adults have a black face and black breast band, while juveniles are less pronounced with a duller bill color. Despite its distinctive look, the ibisbill can be quite inconspicuous in its natural rocky habitat. These birds are generally solitary except in breeding season when they may nest in proximity due to limited habitat. They can be found from lowland rivers to elevations up to 4,400 meters, and their nests are simple scrapes on the ground, often lined with pebbles. The ibisbill diets on a range of invertebrates and small fish, foraging by probing under streambed rocks. With a broad range but unknown population size, this species is not believed to be at risk; hence it is currently classified as 'Least Concern' by the IUCN.
