...as a blogger! I started blogging in October 2008 so I missed the last leap year.
I've not had much time for birding but last Sunday Grant and I drove through town and spotted a number of storks: Abdims and Black Storks as well as the resident Marabou Storks. The latter is a huge stork with a grey, blade-like bill, a naked head and a pendulous throat pouch.
The Marabou stork is resting with its head tucked in and pouch not visible. As I snapped away, it lifted its right leg and hooked it onto the left one
Thanks to Springman for hosting the World Bird Wednesday meme which you can see here
Those Marabou storks look really strange in tree tops.

The stork has an interesting one-legged stance. I haven't seen that leg-hooking stance before.
