These storks are amazing-- they are close to four feet tall! It's easy to understand how stories developed about storks bring babies after you see one. (There was another type of stork that we saw with a beak that wasn't quite as long, and curved at the end, but I didn't get a photo of it.) In addition to populating beaches, they fly and perch around the tallest building in downtown Kampala. Their wingspan is HUGE, so it's quite a sight to see them circling in the air.
