This pic, above, stopped play today and created much excitement - it's a Hadeha ibis (pronounced Hah-dee-hah 'cos that's the sound it makes when it wakes you up in sub-Saharan Africa at 4 o'clock in the morning).
The bowler lost patience after a little while and sort of flapped his arms at it; the crowd immediately erupted into frenzied booooooo-ing and he desisted. Play continued and the ibis continued to field in the general direction of short extra cover.
It stayed in the outfield for the entire day's play and at the close of play had a run out and 2 catches to its name
