Such an elegant bird! The Painted Stork is a large wading bird that can be found around the Indian Subcontinent and Southern Asia.

Very colourful, these birds are not yet endangered, but are listed as a near threatened species partly due to habitat loss and destruction.

This Painted Stork was photographed in Ruhuna / Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.
