I'd never seen so many wild birds gathered in one place as I did at the sanctuary at Khijidiya. Pelicans, egrets, cranes, all kinds of waterbirds and a good number of terrestrial birds — and storks, these being the most common species.

And actually it would make a beautiful painting, a mural perhaps.
This portrait, if I may call it such, is so graceful and serene. Beautiful.
Jenny, that's an interesting thought. Displayed in the right context, I hope it would provide a reminder of the wonder and importance of wild things.
Barbara, interesting that you should sense the serenity — although the wetland was noisy and crowded with birds, these storks did seem to have an aura of calm about them. I'm glad it came through in the photograph.
