Horatio (Steve!) Hornbill

Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill

There was some discrepancy over his name ;) We named him Horatio but Sophie called him Steve! He is quite a character and this afternoon I found him getting into the organic waste bin while camp was empty! There are actually a group of four hanging out at camp and its impossible to tell who is who so they are all called Horatio!

This morning we did odd jobs around camp (I decided to volunteer for sanding a table down) ... Oh my god ... I didn't realise how tough sanding was when doing it by hand! Made all the more fun when we hooked up an iPod to some speakers and started 'dance sanding' - no video footage was taken thankfully, but did entertain some of the EHRA staff by accident when they caught us unaware!
