Field Notes

Description:

Enormous bird ( about 70cm) with big bill and horn on its bill. Black and white with a yellow and black bill, white belly and some white accents on the wingtips.
It has some light blue white colouring around the eyes.

Habitat:

Pulau Ubin, Singapore, Singapore. Near mangroves, forest and a reservoir.

Notes:

I was hoping to see these hornbills and then we spotted a whole group flying over the reservoir to a big tree where they all congregated for a while. Unfortunately we were still very far away.
