Birds of East Africa
Eastern Yellow Billed Hornbill
Out on a drive in Samburu National Reserve, I came across this eastern yellow billed hornbill. I like these birds with their very strange beak. The stormy background and dull colours of the bird’s plumage and the branch reinforce the yellow colour of the beak.
