This is a photo of young marabou storks trying to fly for the first time; on the right of the photo, they have smaller bills than the adults on the left.
The photo was made in the Gambia, on 10 February 2012.

Thank you! The maraboo stork nesting colony was in high treetops, so distance was a bit of a problem for photos.

I know what you mean. I have a similar problem at the Wilden Marsh heronry.

Yes, these are similar problems. However, maybe a bit bigger in tropical Gambia, as many trees tend to grow taller than in temperate Wales.
