Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis)

Locally distributed, shy, and generally uncommon, we were fortunate to see this tall, spectacular species. In South Africa, they are considered endangered. This was one of a pair. The dark iris suggests it is a male. Females are similar but have yellow eyes.
