The kori bustard is the largest flying bird in Africa (the ostrich, of course, doesn’t fly). We saw this one strutting across the savanna early one morning in Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/2000th of a second.
What a bird! When we were in Namibia, along the Zambeze river, we saw a huge heron, (Can’t remember the exact name, but looked like a blue heron on steroids) that stands about 6 ft. tall if I remember correctly. Is the korey bustard even bigger?!
