Sickle-billed vanga

Sickle-billed vanga, imo the coolest bird species of Madagascar. They are great to watch and their bill just is not right for their size and they keep reminding me of Gozmo :p.

I was also amazed by the size, from pictures I imagined them being slightly larger than a sunbird, but they are really big

I have seen about 30 of them in total, in 2 different locations, but they live in groups of about 10, which makes an amazing sight. This one was part of a group that had it's roost on the camping. I will upload some better sickle-billed vanga pictures from the spiny desert later on.
