Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus australis
Large wading bird, appx. 125-150cm tall. Blue-black head and neck with iridescent feathers with blue-black wings and white belly.
Fairly common throughout wetlands throughout Northern and North-Eastern Australia.
Photo taken at Australia Zoo. Although commonly known as the Jabiru in Australia, this is not to be confused with the South American Jabiru mycteria.
