Lesser Adjutant Stork.

Last December when we were visiting our family in India(Assam) we were driving down a stretch in Nagaon when we spotted this Lesser Adjutant Stork .
We parked the car to get a few shots.
When we later downloaded the images we were pleasantly surprised to find that the Lesser Adjutant Stork was actually devouing a snake...
Do check out more birds at http://pineriverreview.blogspot.com/. Enjoy and have a great Wednesday!

    I've seen video of herons eating snakes here in the U.S., but I've never seen a stork do it. Great photos!

    Hi Shantana :-) So nice to see you posting again. I hope you and the family are well.

    What an amazing set of photos you have here!! It must have been a very special moment. Of course me being me I did feel a bit sorry for the poor old snake ;-)

    Lovely gull captures on the previous post too!
