Footprint 23: The hadeda

With the burgeoning 'farming' activity in and around my property, I am starting to acquire some more interesting wild life.  I have already shared some of the adventures with caterpillars and a rat.  I have also noted the increased butterfly and bee life.  A new, and rather interesting friend is a hadeda.

This fellow is by no means shy.  When I am at home, I feed my dog in my bedroom with the door leading into my back garden open.  The pigeons, and now the hadeda, have taken to wandering into my bedroom to help themselves to Bolle's dog biscuits.  There is nothing quite like a rather large hadeda poop on one's carpet.
