A friend on Facebook asked today but where do you get to click birds in Delhi/Gurgaon. I think if we look around we can find pictures in Delhi/Gurgaon quite easily. I do not live in high rise areas and my neighborhood has trees as well. So this Indian Grey Horbill has been clicked on my evening bird round.
There is a pair that almost always moves together. The trouble is they do not like me trying to creep up on them. At the sign of any noise or movement they just fly away. At first glance I almost walked away, because of the size, I thought it might be a crow! I am waiting for the next weekend now, hope I will get to see the Indian Grey Hornbill again and get better pictures.
Seeing this bird for the first time Mridula. Thanks for introducing so many species here.
WOW!! are u sure u live in Delhi????
Chitra, I also started noticing birds after I bought a zoom lens. 😀
Anu, I do, I do, come and visit.
The 3rd picture is really nice! Hornbills are so important to the preservation of our forests. we must help them survive.
The 3rd photo shows the classic beauty of this bird very well – perfect features!
Very nice and very interesting that it is found in a city as busy as Delhi
Sankara thank you, yes I too like it the most.
Thanks Fida, as I said I too love it.

had another question – Once you take the pictures how do you identify the birds though?
