The Jabiru is one of Australia's most famous birds and may be seen on stretches of fresh water or salt-water creeks and mudflats. Although distributed widely across Northern Australia, it is particularly famous in Kakadu National Park where a mining township has been named after it.
It stalks gracefully through the shallows, chasing its prey, and will dash forwards with long strides, wings half flapping, stabbing repeatedly at a fish or frog until it is captured. It breeds during the wet season, usually from about May to October.
