Painted Stork bird finding for fish inside the pond

Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) stands in a shallow pond, its long orange beak poised for fishing. The bird features a distinctive white body with black and pink markings on its wings and tail. The stork's legs are long and slender, adapted for wading in water. The water's surface is slightly rippled, suggesting gentle movement or a light breeze. This bird is commonly found in South Asia, frequenting wetlands and marshes in search of fish and other aquatic prey.
