A large, common, and noisy ibis found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, recognized by its dull grey-brown plumage with an iridescent green-purple sheen and its loud, distinctive 'haa-haa-da' call.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, savannas, grasslands, parks, and gardens, often near water bodies, throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Increasingly adaptable to urban environments.
How to spot
Easily identified by its loud, piercing call. Look for its drab grey-brown body with iridescent wings, white stripe across the cheek, and long, decurved bill.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during daylight hours, often seen foraging on lawns, fields, or perched in trees.

The Hadada Ibis's loud, often echoing call is one of the most characteristic sounds of the African bushveld, giving the bird its onomatopoeic name.
