Oriental Pied-hornbill

Oriental Pied-hornbill, Anthracoceros albirostris.


Native to Singapore, one family of this charming bird can be found on Pulau Ubin. This individual was spotted on St. John's island. According to Wilson, from the Tropical Marine Institute situated on the island, there are 2 resident hornbills there and this is one of them. Distinctive calls. :)
