Marabou Stork, Nairobi Park, Kenya

Certainly not the most attractive of birds- and carrion eaters as well. Marabou Storks have a 7ft wingspan, are gregarious and can thermal to great heights- occasionally in conflict with aircraft. They are usually silent apart from bill-clattering, but can whinny like a horse during courtship.

Lovely...........
