Oh dear! Hope he didn't cause any damage with his ferocious behaviour!

I sure wouldn't mind having one of these guys attacking my wipers. A great closeup of this Hornbill Peter and captured beautifully!

Do you reckon it saw a reflection of something on your window and thought it was edible?

Yes, this would qualify as the most unusual table bird (lol). Thank goodness it is taking its animosity out on the wipers instead of you two. TFS this brilliant moment Peter!
