An amazing experience watching this pair feed their chicks recently.
Taken at a public site at a distance so as not to disturb the birds or alter their behaviour.
A few more to come from this awesome experience!

With a neck like this it is a wonder any bait fish can navigate down the throat of this beautiful water bird.

The Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), locally known as "Ali Manawa," is Sri Lanka's largest and rarest breeding stork, with a critically endangered population of fewer than 50 individuals. Standing up to 1.5 meters, they are primarily seen in pairs within southeastern coastal wetlands, especially Yala and Kumana National Parks. Wikipedia

Himantopus Mexicanus

Ford Green Nature Reserve. Staffordshire.
This small grebe has beautiful golden tufts of feathers on its face, contrasting with its black head and neck. Its steep forehead makes its head look 'peaked'. A rare breeding bird, it is also uncommon in winter.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
It's quite a surprise to see these two tagging behind a group of mallard and american wigeon. This is my first capture of "Ring-necked ducks"
Many thanks to all those who view, fav & comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
Black-necked Stilts are among the most stately of the shorebirds, with long rose-pink legs, a long thin black bill, and elegant black-and-white plumage that make them unmistakable at a glance. They move deliberately when foraging, walking slowly through wetlands in search of tiny aquatic prey. When disturbed, stilts are vociferous, to put it mildly, and their high, yapping calls carry for some distance.

A uniquely-patterned, medium-sized hummingbird, the adult male White-necked Jacobin has a blue head and chest, a sharply contrasting white nape, a green back and blackish wings. The White-necked Jacobin can be found in a variety of habitats from humid forest canopies, to tall second growth forests, and even in coffee and cacao plantations. White-necked Jacobin can be found within its broad range feeding on nectar and small arthropods; occasionally, many will concentrate at flowering trees where they are aggressive and even territorial to one another. Although uncommon throughout most of its large range, the White-necked Jacobin's population is believed to be stable, and consequently has not been placed on any threatened species lists. Here you can see a juvenile (left) and an adult (right).
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Black-necked Stilts visited a constructed wetland storm water pond in northeast Edmonton for for three days last week. They haven't been observed there for the last three days.
My shutter speed was a little low for a flight shot, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity to get one flying against a background of ice and snow again.

Male - right - Female - left side. The Red-necked Tanager is a beautiful tanager, with mainly bright grass green underparts; a brilliant scarlet-red chin that broadens over the cheeks, neck, and nape; a dark blue crown and throat; and orange-yellow wing-coverts. The species is restricted to eastern South America; it is almost endemic to eastern Brazil, but the distribution also extends to adjacent eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. This couple was visiting the feeders of Sítio Espinheiro Negro, São Paulo, Brazil.
