Jabiru In Flight

The Jabiru, or Black Necked Stork, is the second largest of Australia's wading birds, the largest being the Brolga, and is found right across the top end of the Country.

It typically stands at around 140cm (around 4 foot 6 inches) and has a wing span of 230cm (around 7 foot nine inches).

In some of my other photo's you will see that it does not actually have a black neck, instead it is a magnificent iridescent blue.
