The gang were there sitting above the skottel in the trees waiting for any lack of concentration to just drop down and grab what they can.....

We had no time to take any pictures. Even while we were eating we had to stand next to the skottel to protect food :evil:

When one hornbill flies over to your spot the others immediately thinks he will get food and all of them arrives at once,afraid they won't get anything.

Then they sit like vultures in the tree waiting to pounce 0*\

You can try to scare them away but they will just hop from one branch to another keeping all eyes on your food.

And the moment you turn your back they will attack the skottel as if it's their right to do so 0'
