Description
The Black Stork Ciconia nigra is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It is a widespread, but rare, species that breeds in the warmer parts of Europe, predominantly in central and eastern regions. This is a shy and wary species, unlike the closely related White Stork.
La Cigogne noire (Ciconia nigra) est, à côté de la Cigogne blanche (Ciconia ciconia), la seule espèce de la famille des cigognes (Ciconiidae) qui vit en Europe. Ce grand échassier peut vivre jusqu'à 20 ans. Elle est plus petite et plus farouche que sa cousine blanche.

This is a really good capture Michel. Haven't seen one of these before.
He reminds me of one of those dark-colored ibises, which are really pretty. We get the White-faced Ibis here. Their feathers reflect purple and green light when they turn dark for the season. This is an excellent picture, a real portrait.
awesome!!! never seen 1 like that (outside my runtime ;-))
wonderful capture this beauty in black !! very rare here !!
This is wonderful! Never seen one before!
A black stork. I've never seen here. Fantastic capture!
Wow that's kinda rare never seen a black one cool job on this one.
He is a beauty, and I agree with what you said in the Last Week in the Gallery, I feel like I spend a lot of time in this gallery (well not recently though) and see a lot of photos but I am always amazed when I see the 30 selected photos and realize I hadn't seen maybe half of them before.
Thank you for you comments; my next upload :
