Three Woolly-necked storks in a dead tree

On the H1-6 along the Tsendze river, there was a stationary car and I stopped my car behind it.
I saw a hand out of the window making a gesture to come forward. I did and when my car was next to the car, I opened the window and saw three older ladies.
"Are you only interested in lions and other big animals or are you also interested in birds?" the driver asked me.
She was wearing a black hat with text mentioning their birders club.
I said I was interested in all kind of animals and she replied: "If you look to he left, you'll find three Woolly-necked storks in a dead tree and they're very rare." I didn't understand the Woolly-necked part very well and she repeated the sentence once again. Then she rode on.
