The best I could do under difficult lighting conditions in the early morning with heavy clouds. I've seen these fantastic hornbills before, but only in flight. I was so thrilled to see this pair sitting in a fig tree. There were also around twenty brown and pied hornbills flying in and out of the tree gorging themselves with figs.
Wikipedia: The great hornbill (Buceros bicornis), also known as the concave-casqued hornbill, great Indian hornbill or great pied hornbill, is one of the larger members of the hornbill family. It is found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Its impressive size and color have made it important in many tribal cultures and rituals. The great hornbill is long-lived, living for nearly 50 years in captivity. It is predominantly frugivorous, but is an opportunist and will prey on small mammals, reptiles and birds.
The great hornbill is a large bird, 95–130 cm (37–51 in) long, with a 152 cm (60 in) wingspan and a weight of 2 to 4 kg (4.4 to 8.8 lb). The average weight of 7 males is 3 kg (6.6 lb) whereas that of 3 females is 2.59 kg (5.7 lb). It is the heaviest, but not the longest, Asian hornbill. Females are smaller than males and have bluish-white instead of red eyes, although the orbital skin is pinkish. Like other hornbills, they have prominent "eyelashes".

I love the contrasting geometry of this location in this light. This oasis is situated in a vast, mostly treeless swathe of Scottish mountain and moorland. A place where you wander forever in limbo between light and dark searching for that elusive balance.

PS:
Shot on the National highway from Vellore district to Thiruvannamalai , Tamil Nadu , India.
The noise was intentional to make it look film like.
Famed for the massive 1980 eruption which created the concave top of the mountain, and caused 57 deaths and a huge amount of destruction. Decades later the landscape has regenerated itself, with green vegetation and wildflowers now visible in what was once covered in mud and ash.

This was captured during a delightful walk along the beach. The banks and large flakes of yellow-coloured foam are a natural phenomenon. These are the remains of dead algae, specifically the species ‘phaeocystis globosa’, generally called foam algae or brown slime algae. The wave action whips these remains into foam.

Our new christmas decorations, looking good on the tree.
Set-up a tripod for these shots. Still going to have a play on how I can get better shots overall.
