In the first bird exhibit photo, that is a shoebill stork to the left of the walkway. Very rare.

RJR,
Great eye, thank you for point that out. I missed it in my interest for the exhibit it's self. Didn't the Berlin Zoo exhibit some of the first shoebill stork's during the Ludwig Heck era, due to a "shady deal" arranged by Heck? I hope you are well, friend.
