Ideally the size of the spot is the size of the little finger nail, but variation is permitted as long as the spot is symmetrical. However, color cannot run to the eye ceres. The spot originates at the base of the upper mandible above the wattle. All outward feathers are colored and all inward feathere are white, this gives the desired marking for the Saxon Stork. Foot feathers should be full, the longer the better as long as the sickle shape is maintained.
Sickle shape takes precedence over length of feather.
All colored areas of the bird shall be of a rich even shade. White areas shall be pure white. Muffs poorly formed. Lack of a good sickle shape in muffs. Long hock feathers.
