Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill!
Most of the time good resolution bird pictures with a smart phone are not possible because birds are just too far away. But this Hornbill obliged by remaining in a tree just a few meters (yards) away and I got this beautiful evening light image using my iPhone.

This Yellow-billed Hornbill had a very serious expression when it took its afternoon sand bath!

I have only seen these incredible creatures a few times but Southern Ground Hornbills are one of my favorite large bird species.
These vocal birds occasionally use their wattles to make booming calls which can be so loud, that they are sometimes mistaken for a Lion’s roar 🦁.
