[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In Kruger Park I saw many ground hornbill. This one was sitting in a tree and I hadn't seen that before.
There was a big hole in the tree and it couls be that this bird was nestling here but I'm not sure.
The call of this bird is a loud booming "oomph oomph" given early in the morning.

Une prise de vue très originale. La pose de l'oiseau grimpé dans cet arbre ne droit pas être chose commune.

Félicitations pour cette belle prise nature.
