One for the birders

An African horn bill. Fabulous looking birds that seem to have no trouble sitting in amongst the acacia thorns.

Very interesting unusual shot

Good eye. That's quite a beak on that bird.

That's quite a beak! Notice all those thorns point downward - guess he picks his spot carefully. Quite a shot.

[Denise]

Wow...look at that bill. What a fascinating bird. Good shot.

Very considerate of him to sit where the thorns are not, allowing a nice clear area to capture this great image. The beak is fascinating :)

[Rachel]

Yes, this is very Africa to me. Love the composition, and have fond memories of the hornbills. Fav
