Sunset Gathering of African Openbill Storks - Fotografía de stock

A group of African Openbill Storks (Anastomus lamelligerus) gathers atop a tree at sunset, preparing to settle in for the night. The silhouettes of these birds against the vibrant hues of the evening sky create a striking visual of nature's routine. The storks, known for their distinctive open bills, play a critical role in the wetland ecosystems they inhabit, often seen foraging for mollusks during the day. As dusk falls, they return to communal roosts like this one, where they find safety in numbers.
