There was no time for a photo today!
We spotted this Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill in the Game Reserve last week.
Although it was quite far off the road, we were intrigued with the way it was pecking at the dung and then throwing its head back as if it had found something to swallow - Grubs or seeds?
We decided it has to be seeds because the dung seemed quite old and dry and grubs would
probably not have been living happily in there.
Such a beautiful bird and another "first sighting" to add to my list!
