The fourth of a six-part series of zoological exploration.
Introduced by Jeffery Boswall

For generations, 30,000 open-billed storks have nested in the trees around the temple (or Wat) at Phai Lom. The area is a sanctuary for both Buddhist monks and the birds. All the storks' extraordinary behaviour is seen in close-up - their displays, nesting activities, parental care and feeding techniques. They feed only on apple snails and have evolved a special 'open' bill to help them.
Visiting tourists are fascinated by the storks - and, by buying souvenirs from the monks, enable more land to be acquired for both monk and stork.
