Species: Shoebill | Location: Murcheson Falls Area, Uganda
This shoebill had taken off while we were on a boat horizontally following it and we were lucky enough that it chose to land close by and so I was able to get this photo. I understand it is not always a given on this boat trip in Murcheson Falls to see them but we were lucky to see at least 3.
About The Photographer
My favorite traveling includes taking pictures of animals. I am no professional but have been enjoying my different nikons for over 50 years. Taking the photos and meeting all the wonderful people on the trips is such a enormous treat and I am grateful that I have been doing this for so long. From being the high school photographer to taking these safari's at age 72 I am truly blessed. Thank you Nat Hab for a unforgettable trip.
