A flock of hamerkops fishes in a pond in Masai Mara, Kenya.
Watch as a flock of hamerkop birds demonstrates its impressive fishing skills in a pond in Kenya! Hamerkops are unique looking birds with distinct hammer-shaped heads and long legs. They are often found near rivers, ponds and swamps. The name “hamerkop” originates from the Afrikaans language and means "hammerhead.”
Hamerkops use a variety of tactics to catch their prey. They wade through ponds and marshes, using their sharp eyesight to spot tadpoles, fish and crustaceans, and probe their open bills into murky waters to find hidden targets. You'll also see how they flush out food by shuffling their feet and suddenly spreading their wings.
