| Comments | The Saddle-billed stork - Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis - 145 cm is unlikely to be confused with any other stork. The sexes are dimorphic, the male has a yellow wattle below the chin with brown, read dark, eyes and the female lacks the wattle and has bright eyes – read yellowish. Uncommon residents. Usually in pairs or single. Usually silent, but has bill-snapping display. There are about 60 pairs in Kruger National Park, an area larger than some European countries! |
