The Glossy Ibis was first recorded as a British bird in 1787 by Latham, 
on the authority of an example then in the Leverian Museum, which had 
been shot in Cornwall (Gen. Syn. Suppl. i. p. 291). It is an accidental 
visitor, principally on autumn migration, to our islands, especially to 
the south and east counties of England. In Scotland it has occurred in 
the Shetland and Orkney Islands, and in the counties of Kincardine, Fife, 
and Ayr; and in Ireland in Belfast, Cork, Longford, Waterford, Wexford, 
Dublin, and King’s County.
