Good morning everyone… Here we have a Marabou stork, a massive bird, and unmistakable due to its size, bare head and neck, black back, and white underparts. It has the largest wingspan of any land bird in Africa. I love these storks, and when spending some time with them they can be very entertaining. This photo was taken at Melkvlei and he was playing with a stick for almost an hour, repositioning it in his big beak, almost like prey.
Take a look and let me know what you think…
