The Eastern Yellow-billed Hornbill is a distinctive hornbill of East Africa, easily recognized by its largely white underparts, dark upperparts, and a large, bright yellow bill with a prominent casque in males. It is a common sight in savannas and woodlands.
Where to spot
Found in East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, and parts of Uganda and Somalia. Inhabits dry woodlands, acacia savannas, and thorny scrub.
How to spot
Its bright yellow bill with a casque, and black and white plumage are clear identifiers. Listen for its loud, raucous calls, often described as a series of cackles, which are a characteristic sound of the African bush.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during the day, often seen foraging on the ground or perched prominently in trees.

These hornbills have excellent eyesight and are adept at spotting insects and small vertebrates on the ground from high perches, then swooping down to catch their prey.
