---

Pair of Saddle-billed Storks around and nearby a waterhole in the Kruger National Park. Sadly they are now an endangered species. Males have a dark eye with two small yellow wattles at the base of the bill,while females have a yellow eye. They breed slowly and are dependant on extensive wetland habitats, which are under increasing pressure from humans.
