Open Billed Storks like nothing better than a snail.
This one was found with a snack in Kwara concession Botswana. We will be there this time tomorrow

Not familiar with this particular species.I like the feather detail. Perhaps trying to bring a few more details from the dark plumage would make this an even better image.

I like the amount of detail in the feathers of this bird. Not sure if more could be brought out. Also like the pose with the snail at the end of the birds bill. Thanks for sharing.
