Err no, this is not a posting about Sarawak since I am still stuck here in KL. The KL Bird Park has quite a number of hornbill species. Some are stuck in cages while others were free to roam about.
I saw some huge hornbills cracking some branches but they were way up there and I was way down there. Can't shoot them so I went around searching for easier victims.
There weren't many so I only have a few shots to share. I even took one that were inside the cages but luckily the net wasn't too obvious.
They refused to knock and decided to just barge into someone's home. Such rudeness :P
As usual, all shots taken with Nikon D90 and 105mm.

Hello Amino & other hornbill fans,
I spend a lot of time photographing hornbills in my neighbourhood and have captured quite a number of them although they're only of one species: the Oriental Pied.
