[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Knobbed Hornbill is about three feet tall and long; although with its tail, it is four to five feet long. The bird is easily sighted due to its distinctive facial colors and markings. Its body is relatively plain however, consisting of black feathers with some white feathers peaking out at the end of the bird's tail. Despite its brilliant appearance the bird is known to shy away from humans and likes to hide in tall trees.

The Sulawesi Hornbill is slightly smaller but is most distinguished by a much smaller beak size and a lack of any white feathers. The male of the dwarf hornbill has a yellow head. This species lives in a lower level of the canopy, although both species are known to overlap and coexist.

Hi Annick

A strange looking bird. Nice colours. Clear sharp details and excellent catchlight in the eye. Needs a little more space infront of the beak. TFS.
