My dear Peter,

What a great work here!!
I admired!!
Of course a big YS!
This tallest Stork in the world has a 2.4–2.7 m wingspan.
Maybe soon another photo will come... which shows its wingspan :)
(I remember you took many photos there ...)

My Dear Füsun,

Your visit and beautiful words have made me very happy! Thank you so much!
They were definitely big birds, but didn't do much flying. It would have been nice to see them in full flight, but sadly only little hops onto the ground... Another time maybe!

Love Peter

Thank you so much Steve

As ever, your visit is much appreciated. I must admit that I took a lot of shots of these birds, not knowing what would happen. The backlighting was more a case of necessity, as I couldn't get the other side of them!
