A Trumpeter Hornbill (Bycanistes bucinator) is captured in action as it feeds on a cluster of ripe fruits. This large bird, with its distinctive casque-topped bill and red facial skin, is a common sight in the forests and wooded areas of sub-Saharan Africa. The Trumpeter Hornbill's diet primarily consists of fruits, and its strong beak is well adapted for picking and swallowing large pieces. This species is often seen in pairs or small groups, making loud calls that resonate through the forest. Chobe National Park's diverse habitats provide the perfect environment for these birds to thrive. It is August, and the abundance of fruits offers a rich food source for the hornbill.
