Von der decken's hornbill A fascinating African hornbill. I tried and tried to get a shot of this guy in flight, but he had a 6th sense and always outwitted me. I got nothing but blurred images in my attempts - they are quite fast and skittish.<br /> Tockus deckeni,Von der Deckens Hornbill,african bird,bird,hornbill Click/tap to enlarge
