Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Post by PRWIN »

4. Crowned Hornbill (Tockus alboterminatus)

Fairly common resident. Told by having a casque on the red bill and entirely dark brown upperparts.Immature has a more orange bill and buff-tipped feathers on the upperparts. The call is a series of melancholy, piping whistles. Occurs in riverine, forest fringes, the canopy and fringes of lowland and coastal forests and well-wooded valleys. Feeds in the trees and roosts conspicuously on high, slender branches. Size 50-70cm (Gekroonde neushoringvoel)
