not a little bird

I was chasing red-browed finches in a park in Beenleigh, SEQ, and this flew over. What is it, please?

Thanks

Black necked stork, perhaps

thanks for that. It was a bit of a surprise. I'd never seen one before and thought it was a pelican on an extreme diet.

That would be Pelicanus anorexia, I guess, Greyson.

Nice sighting! I don't imagine they are all that common down this way.

Thanks again, timmo. This is the first I've seen in 2 years of looking.
