Description

I took this image of the Yellow Billed Hornbill in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. They are widely found over most of Africa. In the Kruger they can even become a nuisance sometimes and is known to steal food from visitors. For those Lion King fans out there - this is the bird Zazu's character has been based on. Thank you for stopping by. Hugs, Carin xx

Well done, Carin! Their swooping flight path also can be a nuisance, especially when you are riding a motorbike in the Hoedspruit area, as I did. One of those bill embedded in my helmet had very little appeal! Cheers, Clive.

Wonderful image! I happen to love hornbills and this is an excellent capture of one! They're gorgeous creatures and with such gorgeous plumage. Great sense of color!
