Painted Stork

Painted Stork - majestic and colourful! Our friend has captured this inside the Zoo in Kolkata. 
These birds are found around shallow water or wetlands, often seen wading through water in search of small fish. Because of the distinct colourful feathers the name 'painted' is added with this kind of stork birds.

    The painted stork is definitely the prettier of the storks. You captured a picture of the most vibrantly colored one I've ever seen. It's beautiful.
