Always wonderful to watch the relationship between these two, when the heron uses the hippo to move from one side of the dam to the other.

Another photo of the awesome sighting of the female Saddle-billed Stork

A road descends in looping switchbacks from a high Tibetan pass toward the Himalayan range, and Mount Everest, in the distance. The brown plains contrast with the snow-capped range on the โroof of the worldโ.
#TheRoad to #Everest crosses several high passes in #Tibet, switchbacking laboriously up and down each side. At the Gawu La pass, Everest, with its north-east ridge, is just visible (center horizon with the โtraditionalโ plume from the summit).

That stork was there for about half an hour, just mooching around, not far from the dirt track I was driving on. My sightings have always been of them either just standing like this, or walking real slow!

Fantastic to see these birds, especially when occasionally seeing a pair together.

Another repost of a favourite sighting, just prior to heavy thunderstorms, there were birds of all species going crazy, feeding on the insects that had appeared all around. #Kruger, in SA.

ok, the light was rubbish for this pic, but I always wanted to capture a roller tossing its dinner in the air!
