Do you know? Asian Openbill (Anastomus oscitans) during breeding seasons, they are mostly white in color, while in non-breeding seasons, their plumage takes on a greyish hue. These birds have a bill that does not completely close. The tips touch but otherwise the top and bottom of the bill do not. One can see through the bill from one side to another. This unusual arrangement makes it easier to extract the snails from their shells. .

Like other storks, the Asian openbill is a broad-winged soaring bird, which relies on moving between thermals of hot air for sustained flight. They are usually found in flocks but single birds are not uncommon. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched. ° ° ° #asianopenbillstork #openbilledstork #bishanangmokiopark #birdsofsingapore #sgbirds #singaporewildlife #sgbiodiversity #sgfauna #sgnature #sgpark #nparkbuzz #birdinginsingapore #birdingphotography #birdphotography #birdwatchinginSingapore #birdwatcher #best_birds_of_ig #birdofinstagram #SabahanWildlifePhotographer #Sabahanphotographer #olympusbirdphotos #olympusphotography #olympusforwildlife #witholympus #olympusomdem5 #omdem5 #olympussg #microfourthirds #microfourthirdsgallery #mzuiko75300mm (at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8YCTJoAsnx/?igshid=kada8zf73ep2

শামুকখোল 🐌 🐚 The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork(Anastomus oscitans) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This distinctive stork is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is greyish or white with glossy black wings and tail and the adults have a gap between the arched upper mandible and recurved lower mandible. Young birds are born without this gap which is thought to be an adaptation that aids in the handling of snails, their main prey. Although resident within their range, they make long distance movements in response to weather and food availability. ____________________________________________________ #openbilledstork #snail #perfect_birds #ig_birdwatchers #ig_discover_birdslife #bns_birds #birding #birdsofinstagram #birds_adored #birds_matter #pocketbirds #eye_spy_birds #feather_perfection #bb_of_ig #bird_brilliance #birds_illife #nuts_about_birds #nature_brilliance #bomdever_birds #canonphotography #kings_birds #total_birds #best_birds_of_ig #igcutest_animals #igscwildlife #allmightybirds #birdextreme #your_best_birds #bestbirdshots #thetweetsuites @nuts_about_birds @birds_adored @kingfisherworld @birds_captures @birdlover.tv @pocket_birds @bird_brilliance @best_birds_of_ig @eye_spy_birds @planetbirds @bird.cam @bird_love_gram (at Loktak Lake, Moirang) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn546_RD-RX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ad8mgr6drcep
