Been a while since I posted, so here is one that may interest everyone.
Its called a Hamerkop (Afrikaans word for hammerhead),
- Found only in Africa/Madagascar.
- It is the only living species in the genus Scopus .
- Stands about 56 cm (22 in) high.
- Builds a huge nest 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) across - takes about 3 months to build.
- It is an unfussy feeder eating a wide range of food - amphibians, fish, shrimp, insects, and rodents.
- Because it eats such a wide range of food, it spends little time hun
ting and feeding, and so is often not seen, although it may be fairly common in places.
