A flock of Painted stork ( Mycteria leucocephala)
Painted stork feed in grops in shallow wetlands.They feed mainly on small fish which they sense by touch while slowly sweeping their half open bill from side to side while it is held submerged.They walk slowly and also disturb the water with their feet to flush fish.After they are fed they may stand still on shore for long durations.This particular scene was shot on a semi dried lake on the way to Ambasamudram,Tirunelveli District.
