Female in Kenya – irises are yellow

Don't be fooled by the open bill as like other storks these birds lack a vocal apparatus and are essentially mute though do bill-clap. Image taken in the Masai Mara Kenya.

The saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) is a large wading bird in the stork family, Ciconiidae. It is a widespread species which is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya south to South Africa, and in The Gambia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Chad in west Africa. This is a close relative of the widespread Asian black-necked stork, the only other member of the genus Ephippiorhynchus. Order: Ciconiiformes, Family: Ciconiidae, Genus: Ephippiorhynchus, Species: Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis (Shaw, 1800). |
