These yellow hornbills were very common throughout all the camps I went to in Botswana. They like to forage on the ground, and I photographed this one while I was in my makeshift blind, waiting for the honey badger to arrive. Intrigued by the clicking of my shutter, it kept looking in my direction giving me the opportunity for some close up portraits. I also saw red billed hornbills and black billed hornbills, but these yellow billed guys were definitely the most popular.
