Grey Hornbill (Tockus nasutus)(Female)
The Grey Hornbill is found in the northern parts of south Africa. Habitat is savanna and bushveld.
The male has a dark bill and the female has a blood-red tip to its bill.
These hornbills feed on a large variety of foods including, insects, small reptiles, small mammals, seeds and fruit.
Their nest is a hole in a tree. There usually is a chimney above the entrance. The male seals the female into the nest with mud. The female breaks out of the nest about three weeks after the first egg hatches and the nestlings seal the entrance leaving a small hole to be fed through. |

Hey Leon,
interesting you were able to get such close and sharp results on this hornbill keeping the 50mm 1.8 in mind,
how close were you to the bird when you took this shot?
Great results :D
Cheers,
Vishal Sabharwal
