Painted Stork
"Painted Stork" is a large stork with a long yellow bill that curves down at the tip, like that of an Ibis. Adult is primarily white with black striped markings on the wings, bright pink on tertials, bright orange face, pinkish legs, and speckled band across the chest. These storks typically fly with their head and neck drooping almost at or below the belly level. Often seen near water bodies (here at Doddagubbi Lake) such as wetlands, marshes, and flooded agricultural fields. Breeds in crowded colonies, often with other waterbirds. eBird. Endemic to Indian subcontinent and some South-East Asian countries.
