Black Stork
The Black Stork is a large, elegant wading bird found across parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Unlike its white relative, it has striking black plumage with a green and purple sheen, contrasting with a white belly and long red legs and beak. Black Storks prefer remote wetlands, rivers, and forested areas, where they feed on fish, amphibians, and insects. They are shy and secretive, nesting high in trees or cliffs. Migratory in nature, they travel long distances between breeding and wintering grounds.
