at 300mm, 1/2500 f/5.6, ISO 500, hand held. Masai Mara, Kenya. Specie: Bucorvus leadbeateri

Il Southern ground hornbill (bucorvo cafro), monogamo, vive in gruppi che contano al massimo 8 individui. Nidifica nelle cavità degli alberi e non sigilla l'ingresso del nido. In ogni gruppo si riproduce solo la coppia dominante, mentre i giovani aiutano a raccogliere il cibo e a difendere il nido ed il territorio del gruppo che si può estendere fino a 100 chilometri quadrati. Si trattiene di preferenza sul terreno dove dà la caccia a cavallette ed altri insetti oltre a lucertole e altri piccoli vertebrati. Per nutrirsi è solito afferrare la preda dapprima con la punta del becco, quindi la getta in aria ed infine la ingoia quando questa ricade giù. E' una specie a rischio sia per la riduzione dell'habitat che per la scarsa riproduttività . Non nidifica, infatti, tutti gli anni.
