View from afar (Anthracoceros coronatus)

Not the best shot in the world, but these hornbills are so skittish. They never came anywhere closer than 50m. Managed to get one photo without any branches in front.

Well, I think it is one helluva image of this Hornbill. I'd be so happy with an image like this.

It's a great picture you've got of him Sandeep.

They're very handsome birds really, aren't they. I often wonder how they manage to cope with those huge bills LOL.
