Over quiet wetlands and remote river valleys, the Black Stork glides with measured, powerful strokes of its dark wings. Iridescent feathers catch hints of green and purple when sunlight hits just right, contrasting with a white belly and bright red bill.

The animal behind the card
Unlike its more familiar white relative, this stork is shy and secretive, choosing secluded forests and marshes for its nesting sites. It feeds on fish, amphibians and small invertebrates, stalking through shallow water with deliberate steps.
Migratory journeys carry it between breeding grounds and warmer wintering areas across continents. The presence of a Black Stork often signals that a landscape still holds quiet corners free from heavy disturbance.
Bestiary facts
Unlike the colonial white stork, the black stork usually nests alone in mature forests near wetlands.
