My first experience on this first day of 2014 was to be woken up by a new type of 'Rooster'!
It was sitting on the roof above my bedroom and squawking bitterly at a pair of crows
that were frolicking in a nearby tree
The Hadeda Ibis is referred to as a "Flying Vuvuzela" in an interesting article in the Huffington Post
The article also states that another "Hadeda nickname is 'la-di-da,' - a poke at what some view as the hoity-toity airs of suburbanites who share their green spaces with the bird"
On my roof it is a plain Hadeda - no airs in this old house :)
