I’d never seen one before. Apparently, they exist here. I say that because Fahim has taken pictures of them. Although he throws in the disclaimer that it’s probably a crane. What’s the difference between a crane and a stork? Fahim thinks they’re the same family. Whatever.
I’m sticking with the delusions that this is a stork. 🙂
Edited to add:
This bird has been identified as Ardeola grayii, or Indian Pond Heron. Known locally as Kana Koka.
