Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris)
My first encounter with this big bird was in June 2007, but the quality of the picture was very poor - like this.
I upgraded my lens to Canon telephoto 400mm in November 2007, and these are my first shots of hornbill with 400mm lens - 12/11/ 2007 @3.50pm

Original Date/Time = 13/1/2008 at 07:44:06, with 400mm lens

The hornbill is so "real" which I have not seen in the wild.
The hornbill is like me loves papya.
A bird with a pair of big scissors as hunting tool. Awesome!
That is an interesting looking bird!
Hi Tabib, i have been on holiday but good to see some things don't change , like your cracking pictures. Those are quality pictures at 3200 and 1/20th manual.
WOW, what a cool looking bird. i sure would like to see one in person! Great photos!
In your yard, mamma mia, I will never get a so big bird in my yard. The pictures are superb for this nice encounter! Well done Tabib!
Haha, There goes your papaya!
WOW! You are so lucky...
Wow, I am impressed in a bit of a jealous sense :) How cool it is to have such high-profile birds visiting your yard! I can now see why you left those ripe papaws unpicked. It is amazing what good birds these well-wooded gardens can draw in tropics.
How I wish I can have visitors like these in my backyard..... I envy you Tabib!h
You lured my pet bird away huh? But cannot be, since you are staying do far away from PJ. Congrats to you then.
Very unique and interesting looking feathered friend. You go some amazing shots.
Hornbill at your backyard! haha...must visit your backyard one day for birding.
