New male Black Stork profile for later comparisons.
Without a ring we can never be sure but hey. At least we got this.
He also has black scaled feet that you can see on this image. He also appears to have really pale feet. Or is that mud?
This male has no gap in the wing, so this must be our previous intruder and now new owner of the nest.
