@wild4_photo_safaris: Why this bird is revered in African folklore Two Hamerkops start fighting right in front of your camera. Many African cultures consider the Hamerkop a sacred or mystical bird, leading to strong traditions against disturbing them or their nests. These birds build some of the largest stick nests relative to body size of any bird in the world, capable of holding hundreds of pounds of branches. Capture the unexpected on camera.
