Nice sighting. I liked the composition. The head turn helps to get a nice profile of the bird. Was it single or in pair? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrudul for the comments. I Saw some 10 - 15 of them

Nice. Has it adorned its feathers with pigment from the preening gland? Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Good to see an image of this species. I remember sighting several of them on a tree in the mysore bypass road. Their population is relatively higher than the other hornbills. Thanks for sharing.
