Snake birds drying themselves up
The three snake birds caught in the World Heritage Site Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (Keoladeo National Park or Keoladeo Ghana National Park) The snake birds' plumage gets wet while diving and unlike other birds they have to dry it by spreading their wings. The very long neck got it the name.
