A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Tockus leucomelas
This Hornbill decided to join us for lunch! Things I have learnt about them after living on a reserve in South Africa 1) they like to play knock and run on your cabin door and 2) they're great early alarm clocks!

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
