Sarawak is billed as the "land of the hornbills" but here in Kuantan, one such magnificent bird had come to show itself to us for a few minutes. I quickly grabbed the camera and began shooting at this rare opportunity. I had never seen a hornbill up close in person before, only on postcards, so this was a fascinating few minutes. Here are the pictures of the hornbill:

It does look quite a large and beautiful bird
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting and unusual (here) bird!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing bird! Never seen such a bird. Rather exotic I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit at my blog !
Thanks for visiting and taking the time to leave me a word. The hornbill is a very unique bird, exotic, yes. It's distinguishing feature is the top of its head where there is a big lump-like shape.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Photos!!!! I like how you got a few different angles :) And the bird quite remarkable.
ReplyDeleteHa ha... a strange bird! I have seen one of this here in Bucharest at the zoo!
ReplyDeleteMy regards, Duncan!
The Walking Photographer: Thanks for coming! I did the best I could with the angles..
ReplyDeleteWind: Perhaps you should photograph animals at the zoo in Bucharest?! Thanks for dropping by :)
Wow. That's a rather impressive bird. It's the nice thing of living in such exotic places: you've the opportunity to face things that you usually only can see in TV or at a Zoo.
ReplyDeletewow! I am speechless. I think I'd be scared to take a picture hehe It's the fruit loops bird in real life! And that photograph of him holding berry! such precision! Good job!

ReplyDeletePreviously Owned: I was taking the picture from behind a closed window and I didn't even notice the hornbill was holding the berry until I downloaded the pictures onto my computer - a beautiful accident!
