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!
