Existential Wariness
An Asian Openbill Stork seemed to be looking wearily on an Asian Water Monitor that was sunning itself by the water's edge. To be honest I wasn't aware of its presence when the photo was taken, it was too far away from where I was standing. When I went through the photos on a computer screen only then I noticed it. In terms of size the Asian Water Monitor is second only to Komodo Dragon. This one appears to be feasting well on migratory water birds (seen here are Lesser Whistling-ducks) that were present in the marsh area. Jan 30. Baruipur, West Bengal, India.
