The grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) is the national bird of Uganda and features on their flag and coat of arms (and on their money which is oddly not on Wikipedia...).
Around a meter tall though weigh almost nothing - their feathers make them look significantly larger than their typical 3.5kg.
Only saw adults - paired up and wandering around feeding together.
When the sun catches their crown just right it almost looks like a halo.
Beautiful birds.
