Found throughout SA in open grasslands and along the edges of inland waters.
A solitary bird when feeding, it will roost together with others in trees.
Eats frogs, fish, crabs, insects, rodents, small birds and reptiles.
Breeds all year round in warmer regions. Nest is made of a large platform of sticks lined with finer material.

I find the position of their necks and heads when they fly most amusing
Cool. Remember seeing a few of these.
