Hammerkop, Mara River, Kenya.
A Hammerkop (Afrikaans for 'hammer head' I think). This bird nests in
waterside trees, returning annually and adding sticks etc annually. Some
nests can attain several tons in weight.

Mara River Croc & Wildebeest
Grass in the foreground fogs the photo a bit, but what a monster
croc! He snapped half-heartedly at one gnu but didn't make a kill this
time. Plenty of carcasses in the river in any case, so why even bother?
