A Marabou stork..

This is a huge, unmissable and unmistakable stork. Anywhere there are people you will find groups of Marabou. They are scavengers and can be found around refuse dumps as well as with vultures around carcasses. However they don't rely solely on scavenging, they will catch small rodents and reptiles and have even been known to pick swallows out of the air! Although they have to class as one of the uglier (if not ugliest) of Kenyan birds, airborne they are superb flyers, soaring at high altitude across the plains.
