#paintedstork (Mycteria leucocephala) is a large wader in the stork family. It is found in the wetlands of the plains of tropical Asia south of the Himalayas

Another of those amazing birds who are big, bright and photogenic and don't fly off the second you spot them. I didn't see many Painted Stork when I was in Sri Lanka, but this kind gentleman allowed me to sit and admire him for quite a while.
