Africa has more than its fair share of storks, with 8 of the world’s 19 species gracing the continent. Furthermore we have another very special stork-like bird, the regal Shoebill , previously known as the Whale-headed Stork but now placed in its own family.

Birds like American Coots and Long-eared Owls in Arviat, to Bald Eagles in Whale Cove. This is the 3rd year for these most northerly known breeding pair of loons.
