Rhinocerous Hornbill

31st October 2010, Old Pump House Road, Genting Highland, Pahang

Local Name: Enggang Badak.  Scientific Name: (Buceros rhinoceros) 

My head was in auto mode, searching for the source of the loud  ‘whooshing’ sound. Then I saw this female Rhinocerous Hornbill stopping on a nearby tree.- a truly magnificent sight.

    It seems to be a bird made of mismatched spare parts! Look at that fuzzy underside and leggings! Terrific photos.
