227 Saddle-billed Stork


Saddle-billed Stork - Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis

A huge bird standing 1.5 m tall with a 2.4 m wingspan - the saddle being the bright yellow "shield" at the top of the bill. I nevet got a close up view of these birds which was a shame. This is a blow up of a bird perhaps 800 m away wading on the edge of Lake Manyara.
