Found not only in India but also in Queensland, Australia, these storks are commonly referred to as Jabiru or Korrorook. Their presence adds an air of mystique to the tidal mudflats where they can be seen wading through shallow seawater. In their search for food, both male and female Black-necked Storks display remarkable hunting skills. Snatching flat fish from the water's surface becomes effortless for them as they glide across these muddy flats with ease. As we witness these magnificent creatures navigating their habitat with such finesse, it reminds us of nature's incredible diversity. The Black-necked Stork serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in unexpected places like tidal mudflats. Whether it is observing them at Keoladeo National Park or witnessing their presence on Australian shores, encountering Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus leaves a lasting impression on all who have had the privilege to see them up close.
