Nice series. Interesting how they catch fish.

Thanks Jae. I believe the bald head is to facilitate their way of eating, heads in the water

Nice one, James. The bare head reminds me a bit of a marabou stork.

Fascinating to watch them eat, they do not peck, they actually submerge their beak open and move it side to side and if a fish is there they catch it and eat it.
