The jabiru also called a black-necked stork in Australia is often seen foraging alone along riverbed. Its long legs and extra long bill give him an almost humoristic appearance, at the slight movement it will take off which is a good opportunity to take some photos. This is a composite of 3 photos, the cloud representing the drama and panicking state of the bird, the movement associated with it and the water bird so often seen with the jabiru
