Yellow billed stork - Mycteria Ibis, taken at Lake Manyara National Park.
The Mycteria storks are large birds, typically around 90-100 cm in length with a 150 cm wingspan. The body plumage is mainly white in all the species, with black in the flight feathers of the wings. The Old World species have a bright yellow bill, red or yellow bare facial skin and red legs, but these parts are much duller in the Wood Stork of tropical America. Juvenile birds are a duller version of the adult, generally browner, and with a paler bill.

They are broad-winged soaring birds that fly with the neck outstretched and legs extended. They are resident breeders in lowland wetlands with trees in which build large stick nests.

These storks walk slowly and steadily in shallow open wetlands seeking their prey, which, like that of most of their relatives, consists of fish, frogs and large insects.

I do not quite know what to do here about theme, just understood from others comments that there exists something like theme "flight". Can anybody give me some hint, what it is about?

Thanks for a visit and Happy Easter.

Hello Lenka,

An excellent captured, frozen in midair and a very sharp shot! Great colurs too.

The "Flight" theme is created by Helen, every Friday she will create a theme for TL member to post a photo base on the title on that particular Friday, so this week is all about "flight" next week is about Colour pallet, you can find all this information in the forum. It is just something a lot of us like to participate, just for the fun of it. :D

Cheers,
Sweety
