Saddle-billed Stork

The saddle-billed stork is an African bird recognized by its long legs, contrasting black-and-white body and red-and-black bill with a yellow saddle-shaped patch. It feeds in wetlands, taking fish, amphibians and other animals. Pairs may occupy feeding areas together rather than gathering in the dense colonies of some other storks. Its long bill helps seize prey found in shallow water and wetland vegetation.
