Southern Yellow Hornbill 📷 - Animal Photography

in #animalphotography7 years ago

102_0590.jpg

Here we see a young southern yellow hornbill whose curiosity had drawn him a little closer to human dwellings.
"What strange creatures are these?" he must be thinking as he stares up at a someone here.

These birds are such a brilliant attribute to the African bush-veld scenery.

This picture was taken in the Letaba camp - of the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Taken with a Nikon Coolpix P520 with a 180mm lens.

This is my photography submission for @juliank under the #animalphotography catagory.

Gotta Love that horn bill!

haha - yes just gotta!

Oh I love that bird. It looks like his face was drawn on. Isn't he wonderfully unique looking. You are so fortunate to experience all these beauties in real life:) Feeling the good vibrations:)

Yes I am fortunate indeed, and blessed to have amazing people such as yourself to share them with!

He already has that comically exaggerated 'pretending to be disgusted' look perfected- another natural clown in the making.

He surely does!

Lol, yeah, indeed! Sounds like a plan :)

Haha, yeah. I'll miss the sea too much.

We'll head out that way sometime though to go visit my cousin :)
