Oriental Pied Hornbill

[linkahwai]

Pangkor Island is an island off the coast of Perak state in northwest peninsular Malaysia. Oriental pied hornbills were everywhere on the island. They have been attracted to the hotel restaurant adjacent to the beach, where they are feed with leftover food on the table and the fruits on the feeder station. They gathered as small flock on the coconut trees. I spotted at least 15 of them. The view is simply impressive!
