Female of this bird spotted earlier in jan'15 at Halhali stop dam around 50 km from Bhopal. Last week I visited nearby lake (Hathai kheda) close to my residence and got a glimpse of the male. Spend about 30 min with uncommon guest to our lake .Sorry about image quality.

Nice sighting. Seems it had a big bite. The vertical composition works well here. How many storks were there? Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose with the open bill. There is some magenta cast and the saturation is also higher which takes away our attention from the bird. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
