One of the reasons I go bird and wildlife watching is for the peace of mind it brings. These are only 20 minutes from where I live and fabulous to see. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for commenting.

The species are thought to be 35, 000, 000 years old and, as you say, show that connection to dinosaur.

Many thanks 🙏🏻

You are so kind

Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you

You’d have to have a big yard 😂

🙏🏻🤛🏻

Thank you my friend 💚

Thank you - much appreciated.

They are, aren’t they? And elegant too.

Yes! Yes! Yes! A magnificent bird 💚

Thank you!

Than you! Beautiful bird 👍🏻

Great to watch and they nest so near to the Ranger’s Hut for top views.

😂 Did you though? 😂

Yes I did

Me realize your not a roblox character💀💀💀

😂😂🤛🏻

Thanks 😊

Nice to see

A real beaut :)

Thanks - easy as it chose to nest so near the Ranger’s hut!

Yes, it is. Privileged to have watched it.

Thank you 💚

I agree but a long way from home. Thanks 👍🏻

😂 I’ve never heard them called that before! But what a fantastic bird they are. Thank you for making me laugh 👍🏻😃💚

I totally agree with you. Such a unique species. If I remember correctly, 30 - 35 years in the wild.

If you look further back on my channel, there are videos of another Shoebill at Mabamba Swamp near Entebbe (from earlier in the same trip).

thank-you for you answer

I love these birds!

@@normslivinski7483 Me too! Unique species…. you can see the link to the dinosaurs in them.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

They always look ‘angry’ with their furrowed brow!!

Yes, it is and as impressive in real life as it is on film / video etc. Big, prehistoric presence!

If I understand your question - he has no name, he is a wild bird.

Thanks for commenting - a unique sound

It hardly moved all the time we watched it!

Thank you - I can't take credit for the bird but its nice to share the moment :)

In its own special way 😃

Yes, mine too!

Thank you! Nature everywhere!!

I can only agree - a species I’ve wanted to see for a long time. Unique!

I can only agree! Unique species.

A great species to see and enjoy.

Lovely bird! Thank you.

Prehistoric species! Very fortunate to be able to see them.

Thank you - appreciate your comment.

Thank you - a cracking lifer! Elegant bird.

Beautiful animals, aren’t they?

I had that originally and someone commented (see above) that it was incorrect and suggested that Ichthyophaga vocifer was the right one. I checked and that comment seemed to be correct. I'm going to put both now :) Cheers.

Thanks Daryl. Proper job for a Sunday morning!!

Yes, a good looking species. Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍🏻

Hope he has fun 👍🏻

That is a very good description! 😃

I don’t think it would have needed much more food that day.

Epic journey by train but worth every moment. Apparently, B Grouse are very lek-site loyal - even carrying on if building has happened on / near by!

A train, even better! Amazing birds and lovely to see your video Paul! 😀
