p.1 #1 · Two birds from Borneo

I've been enjoying the photos on this forum for some time, so I thought I'd try a humble contribution.

1. An egret

2. A pied hornbill visiting our house

C&C wellcome!

Welcome, Jean-Michel. That hornbill's really interesting...must have a strong neck! Nice details, BTW...you can post a little larger.

Welcome to the forum Jean-Michel,

nice shots. Looks like a cattle egret & the hornbill is just amazing. Just a hit.... the forum tends to prefer "natural" perches

Thanks Lil... And you make a good point!

Problem is the hornbills are always on houses, cars, ... or hidden in the foliage! The grail with them is in flight!! I'm working on it

Garen, I'll post bigger next time

I've read somewhere that the bill is actually full!
