Hello there and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum :t:

And now I'm going to move your thread to the Identification Q&A section as you will most likely get a speedy answer there

First one is a Saddle-billed Stork. Not sure of the second - Hadada Ibis????

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

thanks. loved the socrates quote in delia's signature. Taken from him is the definition of a philosopher 'A philosopher is therefore someone who recognizes that there is a lot (s)he does not understand, and is troubled by it.'
