Hadeda Ibis - Bostrychia hagedash - a photo on Flickriver

            The ibises are fascinating long-legged birds that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. They are similar to herons and share many of their habitats and behaviours, but ibises fly with necks outstretched and often in V-formation. There are 28 extant species and 6 extinct species of ibis.

The Hadeda Ibis is native to sub-Saharan Africa and is named for its loud three to four note calls uttered in flight especially in the mornings and evenings when they fly out or return to their roost trees. This bird is seen wading in the shallows of the Luangwa River in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Its long, down-curved bill is perfect for searching for food in the sand and mud.
