A stork flying over a dense jungle. The sky is hazy blue. The stork has a white body, long yellow beak, pink face, and metallic blue wings. The stork is photographed in profile with its slightly down curved bill, wide spread wings, and dangling legs.

A beautiful #PaintedStork for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongLegsAndNeck. I got this flyby shot while up in an observation tower at the #PrekToal bird sanctuary on the edge of Cambodia’s #TonléSap Lake.

A brilliant white egret with long, trailing legs and stout yellow bill flies across water. Green, leafy water plants are in the background.

Great Egret in flight at the #PrekToal bird sanctuary on the edge of Cambodia’s #TonléSap Lake. A fantastic place for birding & ecotourism. For local Khmer, the lake is a critical fishing ground providing 60% of the country’s freshwater fish
