[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Yellow-billed Stork, Mycteria ibis, is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae.
It is common stork seen in Kenya just about anywhere it's wet. Generally prefers larger bodies of water. The adult is a whitish bird with a long yellow bill. The juvenile is greyer with a duller bill. Both adult and juvenile have the bare patch on the face although this is more brightly coloured in the adult. Generally seen in groups, it has developed the technique of stirring up the water or mud with one foot to flush out prey.

Hi Albert.
So elegant subject and wonderful shot. Great use of mirror reflection. I like crisp sharpness of the image, very good composition, excellent exposure despite the difficult for shooting direction of sunlight. Well done and best regards. And many thanks for visit and nice comments.
