Near Threatened
Western, Central and Eastern Africa: Senegal - Ethiopia south through W and S Kenya to Tropic of Capricorn.
Rivers at low water, open marshes, less common at coast (Lack 2010).
Expanses of calm water for feeding (BirdLife International 2011); breeding along broad rivers on large, dry sandbars that are largely free from vegetation (sometimes on sandy lake shores, and very occasionally on sandy sea shores).
Resident
It feeds on fish, foraging exclusively in the fashion characteristic of the family Rynchopidae, namely by skimming the water in flight with its mouth open and lower mandible submerged.
