Odd Couple?

Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana, 2016

A yellow-billed stork hunting alongside an African spoonbill near Third Bridge in Moremi Game Reserve. Seemingly an odd couple, we've observed yellow-billed and spoonbill storks together on a number of occassions. On this occassion, the warm light and glassy water should have made photography easy. It wasn't. For two hours, I struggled to find an angle as the pair moved quickly up and down the shoreline. Effective hunters, they proved even more effective at alluding my attempts to take their photo. If only I captured as many photos as they did fish.
