Mycteria ibis
these are non breeding birds, the colours are brighter when breeding and there is a hint of pink to the white plumage. Note the grey subadult in the second photo,young birds take 3 years to mature and to gain their full adult plumage.
seasonal small dam
most years various storks tend to arrive to 'inspect' the small dams and ponds in the farms, after heavy rains have filled them. They stay a few days and then move on.
