Shoebill in Flight - Zambia (Balaeniceps rex)

The bird was flying low above de Papyrus and near our boat. The photos os taken while I was standing on a small, unstable boat. Unforgettable.

A fantastic bird; getting the image of which is worth the risk of becoming Bangweulu Crocodile fodder!! ;)
Well done!
