Please keep your photo's and videos of #Groundhornbills coming!

We are asking for some #CitizenScience help with our #research and we specifically need photographs or videos. Sightings also help massively to the larger national monitoring plan of the species.

Quite a death stare we got from this #groundhornbill female! It's been a real busy few weeks, checking on new hatchlings and the progress of chicks. So far 8 chicks have hatched and all well so far!

@carlajdutoit Fascinating stuff Carla!

Our first little alien #groundhornbill #chick of the season! Super cute but perhaps only to ground-hornbill mum or a ground-hornbill researcher!
Weighed and measured before being tucked safely back in the nest.

Awesome video of Ntsiri's female flying from the nest. Happy to say this group are breeding. That takes us up to 12 groups breeding in the APNR!

It's that time of year again. These birds are super excited with this new nest, and are testing out its integrity! There seems to be some drama here with 2 different groups showing interest in the nest!

We just had to share this stunning photo sent to us by @jeffharrisberg who took this image in #Kruger.

Insects like this grasshopper make up the majority of the #groundhornbill diet. We have had a lot of rain in he lowveld and the bush is alive with insects again!

In between the awesome days of rain we found a dry one to install the last nest on Giraffe property, #Timbavati. Now we wait for the birds to start breeding!

Thanks to @ground_hornbill for the nest!!!
