[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This hornbill photo has been *sitting* on my computer waiting to be uploaded now for quite some time LOL. So to deviate a little from roses and love cards I decided to upload this funny bird tonight. This one was seen at a picnic spot in Kruger National Park where there are quite a lot of them scavenging for scraps from the picnic tables. They do not often sit still though but I had a good go at this one while a tourist was feeding them. The phot is not as sharp as I woud like it but with the limitations of my camera and the harsh sunlight it came out reasonably well I think.

Enjoy!!

Hi Wia,
Well, if it weren't for the head I would think I was looking at a banana! What a funny looking beak :D
