The Glossy Ibis was first recorded as a Britisli 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. 391). 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.
