Black Stork.

Black Storks are quite shy, much more so than their white cousins. They are also more closely tied to water, feeding on fish and other amphibians. White Storks are a much drier habitat bird feeding largely in meadows on beetles, grasshoppers, locusts and other small animals.
Both species are large gentle birds, but the Black Stork prefers quieter situations away from human activity, a world apart from White Storks that nest in the middle of towns and villages across Europe.



They are a very attractive bird on the ground or in flight.
