SADDLEBILLED STORK Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis

Nobody can confuse this bird with any other, due to their characteristic black and white plumage and their large, red, yellow and black bill. It is thought that a pair will mate for life. They are always seen in the vicinity of water, where they will catch frogs and fish. They will also feed on small reptiles and mammals. They will breed from January to July and return to the same nesting site year after year. The female will incubate the egg for around 32 days.
