A Hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) taken through wire netting at the Copenhagen Zoo. From Wiki [link]

The Hamerkop occurs in Africa south of the Sahara, Madagascar and coastal southwest Arabia in all wetland habitats, including irrigated land such as rice paddies, as well as in savannas and forests. Most remain sedentary in their territories, which are held by pairs, but some move into suitable habitat during the wet season only. Whenever people create new bodies of water with dams or canals, Hamerkops move in quickly.

It's from the wire netting. There was nothing I could do about it.
