Shoot details
I was
waiting near a water hole inside Kaziranga National Park hoping see some
action. Suddenly a pair of Great Indian Hornbills flew by. I could
freeze one of it in flight. The sky though was not blue was perfect for
my taste.
Species details
At 130 cms this
immense bird is the largest of India's hornbills. Found in mature
undisturbed forests of India and elsewhere in the east, this
rare species is the symbol of the BNHS. The image captures a female - told by
her white iris and lack of black edges to the casque.
