Painted Stork

Photo No. 1: is a beautiful photo....

Good to know that you are good at research. Keep looking, you never know what you might find in Kuwait.

I love looking things up :-) And it distracts me from the frustration about not finding much about Kuwait marine Life or plants ;-) The only thing off with the above bird is the colour of the beak, which might be due to some sun/light distortion. All else fits the bill (pun intended) ;-)

but your suggestion seems to be right Nicole. You are learning a great deal about Indian birds.

this one looks too big to be immature

What an impressive creature! Immature Painted Stork is correct though, I think :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painted_Stork

Surely not a painted stork
