Hammerkop (Scopus umbretta).

Hammerkop (Scopus umbretta). The hammerkop has a long shaggy crest and a curved bill, which, when viewed side-on, makes the head resemble a hammer. The hammerkop is found in all wetland habitats in sub-saharan Africa, Madagascar and southwest Arabia. Hammerkops are wading birds and their food includes fish, frogs, rodents and similar small animals. The hammerkop nest is a huge haystack-like construction, almost 2 metres wide, which is reused each year. Photographed in Ethiopia in February
