Juvenile (in the nest) White Storks have black bills but still doesn't explain the apparent black legs. The possibility of soiling remains?? <br />Peter Alfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561747770128374819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888557101920954598.post-79935731389570642742016-07-24T15:28:47.753+01:002016-07-24T15:28:47.753+01:00Peter,

If you contact Dr Yoshito Ohsako at yosako@stork.u-hyogu.ac.jp I am sure they will let you know if it is one of their birds, you never know stranger things have happened!<br />Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you a photo of a bird I saw this Summer.<br />GordonGordon Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179803983152547389noreply@blogger.com
