    I love hornbills, such remarkable beaks. This one is particularly spectacular. Posted 10 years ago

      Thanks, we've seen many of them in Sri Lanka, although always the same species. This was a rare occurrence where one was found alone, they are almost always found as a couple. Posted 10 years ago
