	Hornbill
		Hornbills (Family Bucerotidae) are a group of birds whose bill is shaped like a cow's horn, but without a twist, and with a casque on the upper bill.
		Hornbills could well be called "jailbirds" because of their rearing habits.
		Hornbills are omnivorous, eating fruit, insects and small animals.

	AWC - Social Activity
		Hornbills play some important ecological roles such as dispersal of seeds from the fruits they eat and control of some prey species.
		We were able to estimate the age of the hornbills by the size of the casque and the color of the iris.
		For Great Hornbill; food is offered once daily, a similar diet to that of the Oriental Pied Hornbill but offered with the addition of milled rice with boiled eggs (mainly for sealing purpose).

	Hornbills
		Hornbills (family (biology) Bucerotidae) are a group of birds whose bill is shaped like a cow's horn, but without a twist, sometimes with a casque on the upper mandible.
		During incubation, the female (of all species except the two ground hornbills) is locked within the nest cavity by a wall made of mud, droppings and fruit pulp.
		However, the Helmeted Hornbill has a solid casque made of a material called hornbill ivory, which the Chinese valued greatly as a carving material, as did the Japanese, who often used it to make netsuke.

		The heavy whoosh of its wings as it approaches or leaves in the thick jungle recalls a close encounter with a jet airplane.
		The rainforest hornbills are primarily frugivores, but supplement animal matter (lizards, snakes, etc.) during nesting.
		The breeding biology of hornbills, featuring sealing the female inside the nest cavity during incubation while the male feeds her through a tiny slit, is among the strangest of all birds.

		Several species occur only in the more humid regions near the western limits of the park: African Piculet Sasia africana, African Broadbill Smithornis capensis, Blue-shouldered Robin-Chat Cossypha cyanocampter, Tit-hylia Pholidornis rushiae, Red-eyed Puffback Dryoscopus senegalensis and Grey-throated Barbet Gymnobucco bonapartei is widespread throughout Marantaceae forest as well as in secondary forest near villages.

		Also, as a complete novice on African birds, this was primarily a familiarisation trip and the bird list is rather limited, mainly due to my inability to ID birds on call in the forest.
		The first birds identified were Pied Crows around the control tower, a Laughing Dove and African Pied Wagtail in the car park, whilst a swift flock proved a little more elusive (both Little and African Palm Swifts were identified here on our return trip).
		African Pied Wagtail* (Motacilla aguimp) - common in a variety of open habitats - roadsides, towns and lawns (similar habitat to UK Pied Wagtail); pair by C-block, IITA campus, 14-15/11 and one at weir at south end of IITA lake, 15/11

		During breakfast Yaya came to find us as he was due to take some birders to Pirang, all but one had dropped out due to ‘Banjul belly’ so instead of the lazy ramble around Fajara golf course and the Kotu area we joined in with the morning trip.
		I was a little concerned as the main purpose of this trip was bird photography which requires more time than general ‘number crunch’ birding, however it turned out to be quite productive in both aspects.
		Along the road we added Blue-bellied, Rufous-crowned and Abyssinian Rollers, which were all very common and seen on wires and trees beside the road, as well as Black Kite and Black-shouldered Kite, the latter posed for photographs.
