Great Hornbill Scape
I have always wanted to photograph hornbills with the rainforest canopy in which they live in. I am in general a fan of animal in its habitat kinda photography and yesterday I was lucky enough to photograph this in Anamalais tiger reserve.

Great Hornbill in Anamalais


There were two of them and they kept on hopping from one tree to another. Because of the rains and the clouds, the light was very low and this is one of the sharpest photograph that I could actually manage. Frankly did not expect to see too many Great Hornbills during the monsoons, but wildlife always throws those surprises at you.

Thanks. Nasty WP plugin which resets my post here each time I edit it.

Don't you just love the call of the Hornbill, I can't quite describe it from memory.... Saw some when camping in Annamalai back in my college days.
