Ground Hornbill ( backlit )
I didnt choose the best subject for a backlit subject as they have dark plumage. It wasnt intentional to have the sun behind him, but I wanted to capture this wonderful bird. These guys are scavangers and I have seen them open elephant dung looking for bugs. Although they walk most of the time and they can be seen covering fair distances, they can fly. Taken in the Kruger National Park. Got rid of some grass covering his body.
