Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus)
Australia's most elegant bird. 🐦👠
How lucky are we in Darwin that these giant birds can be found at our doorstep? ☀️
The Black-necked Stork or Jabiru are often found on the beaches around the city, with this one photographed eating a Darwin Toadfish at East Point reserve!
Standing up to 1.5m tall, they gracefully walk around waterbodies across northern Australia, using their large bill to spear most aquatic prey from fish to turtles. 🐟
Female birds, like this one, have distinctive yellow eyes whilst males have black eyes. They create large stick nests in the tallest trees around water and the young stay up there for up to 100 days! 🐣
