This magnificent creature is a black-necked stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) – the only stork species found in Australia! If you get close enough, you will notice its neck is actually an iridescent purple-green, one of its most striking features, along with its powerful beak used to hunt snakes, frogs, turtles, eels and fish in wetland marshes. 🎥 Louie Pond #bird #birds #birdlife #birder #stork #australianbird #wildlife #nature #birding #blackneckedstork #seeaustralia #australianwildlife | Au
