This distinctive stork is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. I saw it for the first time during my 2014 trip to India. They are quite common around any watering hole. They feed on snails, the gap between the bills has nothing to do with grabbing or opening snails. Apparently this gap doesn't exist on juveniles and only opens up with age. This photo was taken while sitting on a dinghy. No motor boat is allowed in this Oxbow Lake formed by the river Ganges; this provides a nice quiet area for all kinds of migratory birds.

Wikipedia: The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork (Anastomus oscitans) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This distinctive stork is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is greyish or white with glossy black wings and tail and the adults have a gap between the arched upper mandible and recurved lower mandible. Young birds are born without this gap which is thought to be an adaptation that aids in the handling of snails, their main prey. Although resident within their range, they make long distance movements in response to weather and food availability.

Pindaya is a town in the Shan State of Burma. It is located in the west of the state in Pindaya Township in Taunggyi District. Mainly famous for its limestone caves called Pindaya Caves where thousands of Buddha images have been consecrated for worship over the centuries, it is also one of the towns that host an itinerant market every fifth day.

According to local legend, the term Pindaya is a corruption of the word Pinguya, which translates to Taken the Spider in Burmese. The name arose from the legend that there was once a large spider which resided in the caves and it had captured a local princess. The princess was rescued when the giant spider was slain by a prince using a bow and arrow. When the spider was killed, the prince was said to have exclaimed that he had taken the spider, that is to kill it. Thus, the exclamation became the name of the region, and from it Pindaya received its name.

A traditional long-tail boat crosses the calm waters of the Andaman Sea as the sun sinks behind the limestone silhouettes on the horizon. Evenings in Ao Nang often end like this—warm tropical air, fiery skies, and fishermen heading home as the last light fades over Krabi’s distant islands.

This is Harmonia axyridis, not to be confused with the Coccinella sp. ladybugs. This one invades homes, can nip skin, and emits a stink when agitated.
