Hadeda

One of the noisiest birds we have here in SA! They have migrated to the Western Cape and are absolutely annoying. Loud screeches that gives one quite a fright. Beautiful iridicent feathers on their wings.

We have big black grackles, noisy, messy, such a pain. They are not pretty in the least! No iridescent feathers on grackles!

Great capture of what is obviously not a very pleasant bird.
