Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) is seen wading in shallow water. The bird displays vibrant pink, black, and white plumage, with a distinctive long, orange bill and slender legs. It is surrounded by green reeds, suggesting a wetland habitat. The bird's posture indicates it is foraging, characteristic of its feeding behavior in search of fish and small aquatic creatures. The natural setting, likely in Sri Lanka's Yala region, highlights its adaptation to subtropical environments. |
