Sunderbans Diary Oct-13

[Vipin Sharma]

Lesser Adjutant Storks , with their bald heads, wrinkly skin, and slow gaits, adjutant storks may strike some people as ungainly, but the British Colonial troops that named them saw in these birds a stately manner. In military parlance, an adjutant is a senior captain who stands at attention as his superiors file in; adjutant storks are also known to stand motionless for long periods of time.

Beautiful walking pose and nice composition. The small tilt can be corrected in pp. The high ISO seems to throw up some noise.

thanks for sharing

Nice walking pose on the bank of the sweet water tank. Seen only in a few areas of the Sundarbans, hunted by tigers. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
