Life is magical when you can sip on a beer, read a book, listen to the waves, and bird watch all at the same time. The Oriental Pied Hornbill lived in the trees around our place and often we had a chance to get a very good look at this spectacular bird. Eating fruit and insects these birds mate for life and an absolute wonder to watch.
