My first Jabiru in the wild - on the banks of the Adelaide River N.T
The Black-necked Stork is the only representative of the stork family found in Australia and often referred to as a Jabiru. Adults have a striking black and white plumage, with deep red legs and feet. The females have yellow eyes, while the males have dark eyes. The Black-necked Stork is very sensitive to human-induced impacts such as altered water levels and the destruction of aquatic vegetation.
The Black-necked Stork is found along the north and east coast of Australia, sometimes as far south as Sydney, but this is not a common occurrence. They inhabit freshwater marshes and wetlands, lakes, pools in open forests, mangroves and large rivers.
