Larry's Gallery:   Black-necked Stork (1/3)

CICONIIFORMES: Ciconiidae

Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus  

At Knuckey Lagoons, Darwin I was surprised to see a raptor apparently attacking this black-necked stork.

A closer look at my photos (which were taken at a great distance) showed that the kite was just trying to steal a food catch from the stork.
