Spiky Stork
Marabou stork, Lake Nakura, Kenya
The marabou stork is sometimes called the “undertaker” bird because of its cloaked figure from behind. It is considered one of the “ugly five” in African safari lingo. This this case, unlike the wildebeest and the warthog, I have to agree.

Thanks. So ugly he is cute??? I think it is the bald head with the skimpy feathers. 🙂

I don’t know, I find his expression quite sweet. As if he’s quite a character (or she!)

Apparently they are social birds. I guess I shouldn’t judge a bird by its feathers. 🙂
