Notes:

spotted this at Sondzela Backpackers lodge in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. I was camping there and was startled to come around the corner and face to face with this huge bird this first time I saw it. I learned to keep an eye out for it after that and later spotted it drinking from the pool
