David Findlay (b 1928) is a prolific ornithological artist and has produced over 30 stamps of birds of Ciskei from 1981-1991. This ibis lives in Sub Saharan Africa and has an extremely loud, and boisterous call - the name Ingangane is onomatopoeic in Zulu, resembling its cry. In English it is known as hadeda ibis.
for the letter I - ibis, ingangane

Lovely stamp and a great bird.
I've always thought ibis are fascinating birds. Great find for today.
Ingangane seems an incantation word!
Nice to have an Ibis in your collection. I like the raised foot.
pretty stamp, i have to admit i had to look up 'ciskei'
