anyone know what type of Hornbill the one in post #152 is? I was thinking either a Red-billed Hornbill, or Jackson's Hornbill, but not sure which

Hi David.

I would say it was Red-billed Hornbill, looking at the black crown and amount of red colouration on the bill. Jackson's Hornbill also has far more obvious white feathery 'trousers' on the legs and a more distinctively shaped red mark around the throat/neck side.

You are certainly seeing some fabulous bird life jedi58, and getting some great shots. The Guinea fowl is splendid and my favourite photo.

the "vulture" in post 154 was actually a Marabou Stork (Leptoptilos crumeniferus) - oops!
