I observed the Saddle-billed Stork only on one occasion when the 
bird was walking on the drained sand-bed of the Binder in February; it 
was very shy and unapproachable, on the contrary Count Königsegg 
procured for his private collection next day one example.

I observed one pair of the White-necked Stork on 6 th of February 
just when we arrived at Abu-Hashim, but they disappeared at the same 
time. Count Königsegg killed one later in Khor-Em-Bul for his private 
collection.
