Great Hornbill at Bukit Timah

Jens Poehlker photographed the female excapee Great Hornbill (Buceros bicronis) at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in later October 2008.

This shows that the bird it is still around and well.

Now that the Great and the Rhinoceros Hornbills’ favourite daytime haunt at the Eng Neo Avenue albizia tree has rotted and collapsed, we need to locate where the pair of females hang out.

Also, we need to locate their respective roosting sites…

Any news of the above is welcome.
