The hamerkop, Tanzania's smallest stork, builds a large nest. The first four slideshow images are of nest building over a three day period by a pair. The fifth image is of a different, completed nest. These nests may later be reused by other species, for example the Egyptian goose. Roll your cursor over the enlargement to view another bird.
