Woolly-necked storks (Ciconia episcopus) are monogamous. They are usually solitary feeders but sometimes are seen in the company of others. They are found in wetland habitat with a preference for flood plains. The species is predominantly carnivorous, with its diet consisting of fish, frogs, toads, snakes, lizards and large insects. It uses its sharp bill to stab at prey species. This bird is also found in Asia. Photographed in Zimanga private game reserve, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.
