Milky Stork乳白鹳@Japanese garden星和园

天晴，倾盆大雨；天晴，倾盆大雨；今天下午的天气实在是反复无常。把相机装在密封袋里，打了雨伞冲向裕廊湖。黄脚丫的小白鹭在水边觅食，警觉的黃小葦还未靠近就已飞去，早归的白鹭已经在老树杈上休息了。不过在树梢，停留着一只乳白鹳。荷花池里没有常客紫鹭，也没见白胸苦恶鸟溜达。突然乳白鹳飞起，落到池塘里享受晚餐了。不知道是不是这只乳白鹳极其喜欢这里，还是有几只轮流光顾这个风水很好的小荷池。留张清楚的照片，下次遇见了好作对照。

It is said that the Milky storks (Mycteria cinerea) visiting SBWR and Japanese garden are from the Zoo or Bird Park. From our observation, there are three Milky storks feeding at SBWR, and we also noticed that three Milky storks fly over the Jurong Lake and maybe back to the Bird Park. However, in the small pond located in the centre of Japanese garden, we only found one Milky stork rest or feed. We failed to find the ring or tags on its lag and we are not sure whether there is only one Milky stork prefer this pond or not.

It seems the milky stork doesn't have big impact on other wading birds as grey heron, purple heron, or bittern who are also feeding in this pond.

I like these birds and hope they can live in this heaven forever.
