Pair well worth storking about


Loving pair of Black-necked Stork (akaJabiru Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) drawing attention at Cattle Creek, noted flood point passing under the Bruce Highway just south of Ingham.
Proud parents of two flighty youngsters, the adult pair bond with short dances when coming together after spending time apart fishing, or just standing around.
Female (yellow eye) smaller than her mate.
But has taken more fish when I've been watching.
Not that he's impressed by her catches.

    Well, I'm impressed with her catch! Is that a sleepy cod?

    And I'm impressed with your photos, as always.

    Thanks all.

    More likely tardy and tired tarpon, so they tell me, Snail.
