RE: One photo every day: Common roaches (317/365)
I've been waiting for them bird photos for awhile too but I don't mind seeing any of your photos.. I always admire your photography whatever it involves!
Yes, me too. On both subjects. I hope for some eagles or hawks. Those are my two favorite birds.
My third favorite bird is the Shoebill Stork, but they are relatively rare.
Most of them (or maybe all of them) lives in Africa and according to the Wikipedia, "The population is estimated at between 5,000 and 8,000 individuals".
I never saw a Shoebill Stork in real life so far. Only in articles, images and videos.
Interesting links about the Shoebill Storks:
This giant bird only allows people to come close if they bow to him, just like a Hippogriff (Sushi the Shoebill Stork in Uganda is a real life Hippogriff) (Metro News article).
