Trumpeter Hornbil

in #animalphotography7 years ago

What a fascinating bird this is indeed - and quite a rare sight as well.I was lucky enough to come across this bird while on a game farm in Phalaborwa, Limpopo - South Africa. It is called the Trumpeter Hornbil - and the reason for that is quite clear when you have a look at its trumpet shaped bill.

Super cool, you don't see birds like that around these parts. I'm sure that trip was an awesome adventure.

Oh yes every trip into the bush is an adventure in its own rights

Beautiful bird! I have never seen a picture of this kind of bird before. I am shure I would have remembered this amazing beauty. Thank you for sharing :)
