PAINTED STORK

Have been at various times in Goa and never connected with this bird, so was surprised when my friend Lloyd told me several were still at Siolim fields, we nipped there next morning on our moped and saw 29 in the flooded fields from the causeway at very close range,several days later we had a single bird at Tucanen then back to Siolim were we saw 34 birds with 21 still present on the 31st March and 1 at Carambolin on 2nd April.
