★•❥ JABIRU

'THANK YOU' IN ADVANCE FOR VIEWING ☜❤☞ January in Australia, the unrelenting rains returned, causing widespread flooding to many areas of Queensland and New South Wales. Bracing ourselves after two weeks of torrential non-stop rain, as the muddy waters were rising, two very welcomed, young, spectacular and rare visitors flew in. One of the most famous AUSTRALIAN BIRDS... JABIRU is the largest Australian wetland wadding bird. It is the only species of Australian stork and is also called black-necked stork or jabiru stork. It is 1.4m tall, mainly thanks to it's long legs, and has a wing-span of about 2 meters. It has a heavy 30cm-long black bill, black and white body plumage, and it's head and neck are an iridescent deep green-blue. The legs are long and coral- red in colour. The female is distinguished by it's yellow eye. Immature birds resemble adults, but the black plumage is replaced by brown and the white plumage is duskier.
Although Jabirus are found in a large area in Australia, they occur at low population densities and are not very common to see unless visiting wetlands in Northern Australia. I've only ever seen one pair in South East Queensland... this is the first time I've seen a juvenile jabiru.
