Shoebill. What a bird. Privileged to have seen five different birds including three at once on Lake Albert. Magnificent birds.

This is in the wild? They look like they belong, instead of weird and scary. They also look ancient, as though they belong in a different geologic age.
I ❤ them.

@Edelruth yes, all in the wild. I believe there are approx. 5000 left. They are very prehistoric looking! A bird I've wanted to see for a long time.
