Indian Pied Hornbill- Record Shot

[Murugan Anantharaman]

While driving from Ganpatipule to Ratnagiri spotted a pair of hornbills flying over. Changed course to follow them but could not get a good shot. It was evening time almost 6.30pm and the birds perched on top of a cell phone signal tower. I managed to record their call and have posted it in the sounds section. This is just about a record shot of the hornbill calling.
