Spotted
Storm's Stork is a rare and elusive large stork found in Southeast Asia, distinguished by its mostly black plumage, red orbital skin, and red legs. It is a shy bird of dense lowland forests near water.
Where to spot
Found in isolated populations in lowland swamp forests, freshwater swamps, and mangroves of Sumatra, Borneo, and mainland Southeast Asia (e.g., Thailand, Malaysia).
How to spot
Observation is very challenging and usually requires dedicated expeditions into its specific forest wetland habitats. Look for its predominantly black plumage with a pale belly, and red orbital skin. Often solitary and wary; listen for soft calls if present.
When to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its rarity and preference for dense habitat. Can be present year-round in its limited range, but sightings are opportunistic.
