Description
I shot this image of my feathered friend at a birdpark close to where I live. It is a Saddle Billed Stork and fairly rare in the wild in SA. I just love the contrasting colors on this fellow!
I will be in Zimbabwe for work for the next two days and my apologies for not commenting on your images. I will try and catch up over the weekend.
Thank you for visiting my gallery and for your valuable comments on this image as well as previous uploads.
Hugs, Carin xx

Excellent close up shot Carin, I don't think I have seen this bird before, it certainly looks a prime specimen, it must be well looked after. Wonderful colour tones. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

Amazing stork, such as I'd never seen before. And if you say it's a feathered friend, then it's my friend too! :-) Very beautiful capture and subject!

What a great capture! Hey - you're under 60 days. That's great! (I'll be in Mountlake Terrace tomorrow, which isn't anywhere near as exciting as Zimbabwe, I'm sure!) :)

He's not the most handsome kid on the block but you photo brings out the very best in him. Fabulous capture and great close up details.

Super POV, clarity and colors in this magnificent capture of the magnificent stork, Carin. The yellow whatever at the top of the bill resembles a deflated balloon. I keep hearing of the outbursts of violence vis-a-vis Zimbabwe, so I'm kinda surprised you're going there to work.
