Counted about 120 of them last weekend in Penang and that is the highest number I have personally encountered so far. This young bird was perched quite low for a change and provided me with an opportunity to photograph it against a green background instead of the usual bright sky.

The Openbill is a type of stork that has recently found its way to Malaysia.

Thank you for your comment.
