Narcondam Hornbill (female) (Rhyticeros narcondami)

Note: this bird is not of Singapore, but most probably illegally imported into the city state.

Oh but still a lifer for me ...

Quote:
Range & population Aceros narcondami is endemic to the tiny (c.7 km2) island of Narcondam, east of the Andaman Islands, India. In 1998, the population was estimated at 295-320 birds and stable, including an estimated 68-85 breeding pairs, while during fieldwork in 2000 the population was estimated to be 432 individuals1, these figures may indicate that the number of mature individuals is fewer than 2502.
