there is a wonderful colony of painted storks in keoladeo
national park in rajasthan, india. they are a sight to behold with the foppish splashes of color, long legs and beak. but their real elegance is first visible when they take flight
their huge size makes them seem more comical than graceful nesting on thin branches in the trees.
on land they seem at home, more stately adorned in pink and relaxed, not having to balance all the time.
but it's really something to see them take to the sky
