African sacred ibis

Occurs across much of sub-Saharan Africa; in southern Africa, it is common in northern and eastern Botswana, the Caprivi Strip (Namibia), Zimbabwe, Mozambique and much of South Africa. It generally prefers the margins of inland freshwater wetlands, coastal lagoons, the intertidal zone, offshore islands, grassland, open habitats and man-made habitats, such as cultivated land, dams, sewage works, lawns, farmyards, refuse tips and abattoirs.
