Good evening Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all tonight are these new shot's of a new species, the Abyssinian Hornbill that I captured at the Zoo a few weeks back. I am not sure but it does say that some of these are endangered but it appears like their are a few different types, with different beaks as well as some colors, I assume that these two here are the endangered since they are at the Zoo. Okay so I see here their are 59 different types of species, that's a lot for sure. They are all found in Africa, as well as Southeast Asia, basically in rain-forests, forests as well as savannas. These are ground Hornbills as well, so I am not really sure how much flying they do but regardless they are pretty rare and cool looking. These shots here once again were shot through a netting aka fencing, so I did my best and it really is hard to tell on these shots. Sometimes you can get away with shooting through fencing, netting etc but not always. Not such an easy task to do but like I always do, I manage to get some shots in. The cover shot above I like, about twenty yards away from this bird, further back then the net helped me out here and is a good detailed shot here. Whats cool is what you get to see here in the second shot, they have really pretty eyelashes, ones that the women would die for, Haha. This almost was the cover shot but since I only got four good shots, two are somewhat the same and I needed to do it this way, that would be the last shot, similar to cover but it is a different image and not as good as the cover.

In this shot here, was a bit harder to get through the net but I was trying to get the lashes and a good shot, it is but the lines made it not so good but the detail for the lashes are great so you get to see close up.

The last shot here is the one that is similar to the cover and just another add to this post for more shots and the only ones that were good. Hope you all enjoyed the post and shots, appreciate you all stopping by, have a blessed Wednesday or whatever day it is in your country.

Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
