Field Notes
Description:
These huge (60in/150cm) and pretty scary storks were roaming around the picnic area that we stopped in on the way to the Serengeti. They were waiting for somebody to drop their guard with their lunch and grab it from nearby with their huuuuge bill (14in). they have an average wingspan of 11ft and are sometimes referred to as the 'undertaker bird' due to their dark cloak of feathers and bald neck.
Habitat:
Seen at a stop off point on the way to the Serengeti, Tanzania.
