Description
Painted Storks relax by the Koi Pond.... wait, there's no koi in the render... well, talk to the storks about that expensive lunch :)
Painted Storks breed in Asia from India and Sri Lanka to Southeast Asia. They frequents freshwater marshes, lakes and reservoirs, flooded fields, rice paddies, freshwater swamp forest, river banks, intertidal mudflats and saltpans (and in this case, Stonemason's "Streets of Asia")
Although one of the most abundant of the Asian storks this species is classified as Near Threatened because of the increasing impact of habitat loss, disturbance, pollution, drainage and hunting of adults and collection of eggs and nestlings from colonies.

An excellent piece of work! I'm sure the owner of the koi would have lessened the bird count even more, what do rare koi cost? $10,000 or more. :) Thanks for the informed info on the bird species, it was interesting.
