Black-necked Stork
Tennant Creek
An unusual sighting of a Black-necked Stork. It was about knee deep in an ephemeral muddy pool, east of town between Kazinsky road and the TV aerials. There were also around 30 Black Kites with it – some of which were sitting chest deep in the water, just keeping their wings out. Not sure what was going on, but maybe they we’re feeding on emerging burrowing frogs?
