Picture of the day

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.

STAY-AT-HOME BIRD WEDNESDAY

Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill – also know as Mr. Banana Beak 😊

Yellow-Billed Hornbills sometimes forage co-operatively with Dwarf Mongooses, catching food that the mongooses scratch up from the ground. In return, the hornbills alert the mongooses to danger from overhead raptors.

Stay home and stay safe!

Extend your zoom to the largest tele setting and open the aperture full. The ideal situation is for your subject to be in the middle between the front fence and back
