>>52040084The species is called White Stork. That one is “ringed” because it has a ring or band on its leg.
>>52040017Herons are related to egrets and other waterbirds in the order Pelecaniformes. Storks are generally a bit more terrestrial or water’s edge adjacent, classified as more distinct, in their own order Ciconiiformes. Albatross are giant tubenose seabirds in the order Procelariiformes, loosely related to shearwaters and petrels.
Also for what it’s worth, frigatebirds like Kilowattrel are closest to gannets and boobies in the order Sulifornes, but they’re in their own family.
Bird taxonomy is complicated and most people don’t know it, that’s why both Cramorant and the Wattrel line were called “seagulls” by leakers.
