Great colors in this one. The bird's beak really jumps out at us. I feel though that it might benefit from composing the image with the bird at the left-hand 1/3 point, so he would be facing into the frame instead of facing the right-hand border. Good overall image.
I'm guessing this is some sort of "Stork". Whatever the case it's a magnificient bird that I've no recollection of having seen before. Thanks Raj, for posting this excellent shot of the bird with it's remarkable colors.

Well Raj, this is quite the unique fella. Makes one wonder why nature gave him those strange limbs, as there is always a reason. Quite a fancy colourful beak. Fine details & caught at the right moment. Appreciate you sharing him :^>
