On the shore of Lake Malawi, a pair of hamerkops (Scopus umbretta) preened each other, rested, or padded about at the lapping water's edge. Strange birds, with a wealth of folklore and unresolved scientific questions.

Как удивительно интересная птица.
Очень увлекательное птицы, Эндрю. Спасибо.
that is a crazy looking thing. our planet really does have some spectacular life on it.
I sure see the dinosaur ancestors in this bird!
What a perfect match for the background.
I'm glad Walt Disney never got his hands on this one.
Leonie, they really are odd birds. They reminded me of the kind of character one might find in Moominvalley.
Beadbabe, yes — prehistoric.
RR, a Disney treatment of hamerkops is a depressing thought indeed.
