Saddlebilled Stork

by Mary Jane Sesto
(Long Beach, Ca. U.S.A.)

We came across a shrinking pool and there were several birds in attendance, including 2 Hammerkops, a Woolyneck Stork, a Grey Heron, 2 African Jacanas, several other smaller birds, and a female Saddlebilled Stork. We watched the Saddlebilled Stork for 35 minutes after she poked, proded, lifted, and dropped the Barbal at least 15 times, until she finally lined it up in her beak and swollowed it whole! This was absolutely the best bird sighting I have ever experienced.

The saddlebill stork is a rare sighting - well done on getting not just the bird so close but catching fish as well!
