Can you tell a bit more about what this bird was doing at the time you took the photo?
This little fella a looks like a descendant of the Dodo bird. Correct me if i’m wrong?
Hi Guy,
The shoebill was standing perfectly still, which it can do for long periods of time, waiting for prey. Once prey ( fish, frogs, snakes, nile monitors) is spotted they do strike fast. Adults grow to around 12 lbs ( male) with an average height of 110-140 cm.
This prehistoric looking stork flew off. I do have a few photos of the bird in flight, which I can post later on. I apologize that there was not any detailed explanation with the original blog. I was just so excited to share them:-)
