If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Agreed, it's beautiful but what kind of bird is it?

Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill - omnivorous bird has been made famous by the movie The Lion King, where it is used as a character named Zazu. Photographed while in South Africa. Camera: Canon 5d MKIV
The yellow-billed hornbill is mainly an omnivorous ground feeder, eating small insects, spiders, seeds and occasionally fruit. The species is known to forage co-operatively with dwarf mongoose, catching prey items that the mongoose scratch up from the ground. In return the hornbills alert the mongoose to danger from overhead raptors. There have been records of hornbills waiting expectantly at mongoose burrows, eager for the foraging to begin.

What a great shot, Jonathan! Very appealing. Interesting symbiotic relationship with the dwarf mongoose.

Very sharp, attractive shot, Scrumhalf! Great separation from the background.

Nice! La Jolla Cove? I got a very similar shot there a few weeks ago. Posted it on the 7D2 and 100-400 II threads.

Yes. I live nearby and don't go there often enough.
