This stork can be confused with the Milky Stork which the latter have a whiter wing feathers.
Some say its ugly but when they r in flight they r majestic especially
in formation of a V. You don't have to go into Zoo Negara to see them. For the
past month from about 5pm the birds return from their feeding grounds as far as
Shah Alam and Putrajaya to roost. Perch on the lamp post and trees along MRR2
highway to Genting It is quite a huge bird as tall as 1m in height. Beak is a pale yellow whilst its cousin Storm's Stork are red found in forest swamp land.
They have adapted to the city life I guess. Kuala Gula, Perak is the only place that they are reside and brood freely.
The photo below shows the bird at rest on its knee.........
