And magnificent :)

I must be wrong, as apparently yellow-billed storks only exist in Africa!

I agree with you Sean, I think it is a yellow-billed stork. Have a look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-bill...

There were still very large herds in the Serengeti when I was there in June, along with Grant's gazelles, but they had already begun their migration to Masai Mara in Kenya. I guess they are there now.

Nice shot!

The one on the left is a Grant's gazelle, the one on the right is a Thomson's gazelle.

Yes, they were certainly aware of our presence but as you can see, in no way bothered by it!

Anyone have any ideas what this is?

It doesn't look very tasty, does it?

Thanks!

Thanks for the comments. Christiane, this one is protected in a wildlife sanctuary in Healesville. That is sad that they are often shot.
