Dear members,
Found this male Rufous Necked Hornbill near Panbang, the Bhutan side of Manas National Park. I am not sure whether the location can be technically called within Royal Manas National Park [ the Bhutanese counter part of the site], may be on No Man's Zone. This vulnerable [ IUCN status: 2015] species breeds in a small patch of North Bengal, known to local birding enthusiasts. But there has not been many sighting of this species in Assam, so we were delighted to spot this beautiful male.
