Lesser Adjutant, Yala

Lesser Adjutant - Leptoptilos javanicus;

(Endangered). This bulky stork was spotted on Sunday the 11th january 2009 late morning at Yala Runhunu National Park, and is the largest bird on the island.

We were driving in our jeep trying to spot leopard when we saw the Adjutant a few hundred feet away. I just pulled out my Sigma 500mm Lens and took this sho in a hurry and it came out ok.
