[BirdPhotoIndia] Oriental Pied Hornbill

15th October 2010 near Margherita on the Assam Arunachal Border.

Had driven down to a Tea Estate on the Assam Arunachal Border on work. As
usual I carried my camera.

There is a forest bordering this tea estate where we stopped for a while. My
driver got down to answer the call of nature and I got down to stretch my
legs when with a 'whoosh' this bird landed right in front of me. It stayed
for enough time for me to take a couple of quick snaps before it vanished.

My first sight of this bird in the wild. Light was poor, camera settings
were all wrong as I was not prepared and I was shaking with excitement and
nervousness. I still love this shot and hence am posting it.
