Ocyceros birostris
Such an apt name. It is a Hornbill. It is Grey. Saw this in New Delhi...capital of India.
On a neem tree in the PUSA campus.
Always happy to see urban biodiversity. This species thrives thanks to tall trees lining the avenue...how much longer is the question.

@ Daniele I used to work there, once. Now I am in another city! But I do go there 1-2 times a year. I had not known about PN then. :(
@ Christine Thanks...
@ Zlatan Clebic Thank you ...and I am so envious (in a nice way) of your spottings too.
Congratulations Sukanya!
Great spotting and really beautiful images - and I love your notes, by the way!
You're welcome Sukanya. If you visit that campus often enough you could consider dedicating a mission to it.
Thank you, Mark.
Congrats Sukanya.
Happy to. Thank you AntónioGinjaGinja...also, thanks to this avenue with old and tall trees that also house Red-naped Ibis and many other birds. I even saw a Honey Buzzard here once. As long as the trees stay, the birdlife here will thrive.
Great find Sukanya,congrats on the SOTD and thanks for sharing
Thank you, Daniele. And Thank you, PN. Totally thrilled.
We love to see urban biodiversity! Congratulations Sukanya, your Indian Grey Hornbill is our Spotting of the Day:
"Spotting of the Day! You'd be forgiven for thinking that this beautiful image of an Indian Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros birostris) was taken deep in the forest, but it was actually taken in New Dehli, the capital of India. The Indian Grey Hornbill is one of the few hornbill species that can be found in urban areas, provided there are large trees along avenues".
