Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill (III)

Thanks Lara, this is one of southern Africa’s favourite birds. They are easily found at cafes and restaurants in the national parks.

Thanks Kimberly, these birds are characters (they will steal food from your plate) and are firm favourites across southern Africa.

Thanks again X. This and my earlier bird photos were taken in South Africa. Like Aus and South America Southern Africa is a birder’s paradise.

Thanks Trevor. This bird is common across most of southern Africa. The photo was taken at an outdoor restaurant in the Kruger National Park. Such venues are good for bird photography since the food attracts the birds. Even if you do not feed they they will search for scraps and a brave few even “steal” from your plate.

Hello Taschja, many thanks for looking. The photo was taken at the restaurant in Lower Sabie. If you look at my earliest pages I have many photos of SA birds.

Centurion. Pretoria, right?

Hello Taschja, unfortunately I’ll not get to SA this year.

Thanks again MP, this is the most popular of my South African photos.

Thanks again Linda.

Thanks again Gin. This is one of the first photos I posted. It did well fom the start and so, recently, I relocated it to my first page.

Many thanks Josie.

Thanks Amarica, I posted this on my first day on RB.

Thanks Rosalie, I snapped this little guy in the Kruger National Park, South Africa about a year ago.

Thanks Macky. This one was taken at the restauant at Lower Sabie, the little guy sat on the post for several minutes so I manage several good photos. Another good spot is the cafe between the Malelane Gate and Skukuza by the junction of the H2-2 & H3, I forget the name but it is some thing like Afsaal, possibly .

P. S. Many thanks for favouriting this.

Thanks Mariaan. The is one of my most popular and one of my earliest postings.
