Nambian Safari
Hornbill with Francolin Chick

Quite unexpectedly this Hornbill grabbed this Francolin chick and made his escape into the tree. Previously they had all been feeding contentedly on the seed we provided. The guides at the lodge had said they had never seen or heard of this before as the Bradfield's Hornbill are generally vegetarian.
