The lightning bird or the Hamerkop is said by African legends to be the knig of all the birds. It is claimed that every species of bird brings a contribution of sticks for the Hamerkop's gigantic nest and the many creatures that use it, is stranger than any legend.  Winner of a special award at the Wildscreen "Panda" film festival ceremony in October 1984
