Sunday Stamps - 'I'

1981 Ciskei
artwork: Dick Findlay

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

    Ingangane seems an incantation word!
