Photographed these birds at Ranganthittu. If you observe closely you will notice that the beak is slightly open when the beak is closed, hence the name. Like other storks, this bird too flies with its neck stretched, like you can see in this Image. These were nesting birds and many nests had just hatched chicks in them.The bird feeds on mollusc's frogs and insects.
