India! Indian Grey Hornbill

Indian Grey Hornbill: Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, india, March 2023 — While India is home to 10 species of Hornbills, most of them much more colorful, the only common and widespread one is the Grey…and certainly the only one in Rajasthan is the Grey. We saw them quite often on our travels…generally high in a tree. They certainly live up to their name…they are Indian, they are hornbills (though some other hornbills have more elaborate horns), and they are grey…grey, grey, grey…with just a hint of brown in the wings in certain light. On a grey morning in Keoladeo, they are certainly very grey. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 160 and 500 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Close up and right profile plus 1.7EV.
