Duck pond inside the Savannah Aviary

A good place to watch the fulvous whistling ducks and the white-faced whistling ducks. They are not shy at all and come very close to the visitor's path through this walkthrough aviary. In the background you can see some of the ZOO's four giraffes, in front of the Egyptian Temple.
Some extra information I couldn't fit in the description:
The Savannah Aviary was opened in 2016 and is home to a breeding herd of cape buffalo, Abdim's stork, cattle egret, glossy ibis, hadada ibis, trumpeter hornbill, domestic helmeted guineafowl, fulvous whistling duck, white-faced whistling duck and maybe hammerhead. African grey hornbill will be added. They now can be seen in seperation cages. Other images of this aviary can be found in the Gallery.
In 2017, the Savannah will expand with a new enclosure for giraffes and Hartmanns mountain zebras. The ZOO's zebras are staying at sister park Planckendael temporarily.
