Saddlebill Storks

Saddlebills are, IMO, one of the most beautiful African birds. Standing 5 feet tall and  in the swampy areas, they are fairly common and hard to miss - but usually behind grasses and trees. 
This is a pair - the sexes are similar,  but the male is larger and has a dark eye, while the females have a bright yellow eye.
I was fortunate to capture the two together, and also get an angle that the beautiful sheen on the sides is visible.
