Please do - scan a slide or two, that is.

When I was at Lake Sidamo in Ethiopia years ago large numbers of them used to
stand on the path that ran alongside the lake. They were almost as tall as me
and a very surreal sight. To get back to where I was staying I had to navigate
my way through them. Their peculiar stooping gait and demeanour always made me
feel as though I was walking through a school yard full of aged Latin teachers
with their hands clasped behind their backs.
I have some slides of them which need scanning.

Thanks, Subash. Yes, you are right, it is an endemic Southern African species.
I'll take my camera to the dump next time I go. They breed on top of thorn
trees at a small dam nearby.

Maribou Storks are scavengers, well known for cleaning up at kills &
in rubbish tips. Generally they appear very dirty. This is one of a
group, soaked & washed by overnight rain, busy drying out before
attempting to ride the thermals to find another meal. Disgusting on
the ground, yet graceful in the air!
