Grey-necked Rockfowl

• It depends literally on rock: it attaches its mud nest to the walls of caves and granite overhangs within the forest, and where there are no outcrops the species is absent, however good the woodland.
• It follows army ant columns to catch the invertebrates fleeing the swarm, a technique it shares with several African forest birds.
• It is one of only two species in its family, a lineage so isolated that for decades ornithologists did not know which group to place it with.
