EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by FLPA/Neil Bowman, we witness a truly unique sight in the heart of Assam, India. A flock of adult Greater Adjutant storks can be seen scavenging on a rubbish dump in Guwahati, January. These magnificent birds have turned an unlikely location into their very own feeding ground! With their long legs and impressive wingspan, these rare Asian scavengers are not your ordinary dinner guests. Unfazed by the littered surroundings and polluted environment, they gracefully navigate through piles of trash to find their next meal. As nature's ultimate recyclers, these endangered creatures play a vital role in maintaining balance amidst human waste. With each peck and swoop, they help clean up the mess left behind by careless individuals. While it may seem like an unusual choice for fine dining, this group of Greater Adjutants has found solace in turning trash into treasure. They remind us that even amidst pollution and disregard for our planet's well-being, there is still beauty to be found. So next time you spot one of these majestic birds soaring above or perched atop a garbage heap, take a moment to appreciate their resilience and adaptability. After all, who knew that saving the world could also involve feasting on leftovers?
