About	Location: Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya Date: 24 Feb 2005 Capture: Canon EOS-1D Mk II, EF 500 f4L IS with EF 1.4x II, 1/500, f8, ISO 200 (The teleconverter was ?permanently attached? to the body to keep dust out when changing between the 120-300 and 500.) This male Ground Hornbill, also known as a Southern Ground-Hornbill, was out hunting with his mate and an almost-adult chick. He currently has two frogs and a small snake in his beak. When he came across a new prey item, he?d put down the items in his beak, snag the new item, then pick up the ones that he had put down.

Awesome.
I think I will sell my camera and just look at your pictures.

What a wonderful portrait of this bird. He has an almost aristocratic, aloof kind of look... and your description of his behaviour imparts a sense that this bird is some kind of high-class toff strolling through Fortnum & Mason picking up some delicacies. Amazing!

This is so cool, he has "Dean Martin" eyes. Great capture.

That's absolutely wonderful capture. May be you can saturate the colors a little bit.

Great job, great photo.
Congratulations...

Oh my goodness James! Usually the males are so much prettier but not in this case. And the poor guy looks absolutely bored.....but it is a wonderful image. It made me smile, thanks!
