Always the Hornbill

I must say that of late the taman iconic bird, the Oriental Pied Hornbill, has given me more than ample opportunities for photo shoots.
However on this occasion there was a little apprehension when I saw where it was perched, too close to the lineated barbet's nest as I recalled how it tried to raid the nest the last time it was in that area (see post of 5 May 2018 at http://rimbakiara.blogspot.com/2018/05/nuisance-hornbill.html).
Nevertheless I couldn't help but still love this bird.

Close-up shots that display even more the beauty of this Hornbill despite being merely black and white, colours that give it its name 'pied' as the word 'pied' describes "bird plumage that has large, contrasting patches of bold color, most often in black and white and with distinct edges".

A few days later when I was in the taman loud cries alerted me to its presence and led by this I found it at the far end of the taman, as if it was calling out to another.

And then it made a sudden move to fly straight past me, its huge wings flapping just metres above me.
