Hi,
Can anyone please ID these two Hornbills?
We were discussing back here in Singapore.
Some said it is the Rhinoceros Hornbill and others said it is The Great Hornbill.
Can please clarify for me.
Cheers and thanks

Thanks Vinch.
There are no other Hornbills around that area and I think they kept each other company even building the nest together.
Cheers
