Malabar Grey Hornbill : Ocyceros griseus

Myself and 3 friends planned for a weekend trip and again landed up driving towards Sivamoga.

Reached Śivamogga in early morning, then drove towards Sagar where we had planned for the stay.
We need to cross the river Sharvathi, there was a launch which would carry vehicles from one side to another.





We reached the bank of Sharvathi and waited for the Launch to start his first morning trip, which was at 8am. Then we loaded our car into it the launch.
After getting settled in the home stay, we came out to see a lot of Hornbill's flying around the home stay...this was the chance for me to take out the camera and shoot some photos :-)







My wish also got fulfilled to shoot the Malabar Grey Hornbill, this was the first time watching them so closely and shooting them.
