Field Notes

Description:

Asian Openbill Stork is a broad-winged soaring bird, which relies on moving between thermals of hot air for sustained flight. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched. It is relatively small for a stork at 68 cm length.

no Alice, it is not the nesting site of these storks... they just landed there and crows started messing with them.... ultimately all of them had to leave because crows didn't give them any peace. ;)

Is it possibly confronting the crow or raven that may be interested in it's eggs? But it may not be a nesting site!
