The Hammerkop (Scopus umbretta) is a medium sized (56cm) bird with a long shaggy crest. The shape of its head with a curved bill and crest at the back is reminiscent of a hammer, hence its name. Its plumage is all-brown. It is related to the herons, but is usually placed in a family of its own because of its unique characteristics. |
