Just look what we spotted at Mabamba Swamp on Lake Victoria this morning!
Coming across this Shoebill chick was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our day. There’s something truly special about seeing these magnificent birds in their natural habitat, and getting to spend time watching a young Shoebill was an unforgettable experience.
