Definitely one of the weirdest and most prehistoric-looking bird I have seen! Taken at the Mabamba swamp near Kampala, Uganda a couple weeks ago.

That is super cool Michael, and definitely looks prehistoric.

Never seen an image of one before, Both are very well done.

That is one seriously ugly bird. Certainly not one I have seen before. I have to agree with the prehistoric reference.

Thanks for sharing this.

Interesting how gray colored it is.
