Planet Earth and "Black Storks??" (1 Viewer)

Last Sunday, the Australian BC screened the first episode of Planet Earth, narrated by David Attenborough.
It was a great program and I thoroughly enjoyed it but I had a question about id at one point where a flock of black birds flew in to the Okavango Swamps.
They were called Black Storks but I doubt it. We just got a glimpse of them, but they looked all black to me and the fact that they were in a flock would also make Black Stork an unlikely id. To me they were Openbills.

Did anyone else see this?

Cheers
