The Northern Red-billed Hornbill is a widespread and common hornbill across northern parts of Africa. It is characterized by its predominantly black upperparts, white belly, and a bright red bill with a small casque.
Where to spot
Found across the northern Sahel and sub-Sahel regions of Africa, from Mauritania east to Sudan and Eritrea. Inhabits arid and semi-arid savannas, thorny scrub, and dry woodlands.
How to spot
Identify by its black and white plumage and bright red bill. It's often quite vocal, producing a distinctive series of rapid, high-pitched 'tok-tok-tok' calls, which are a hallmark of its presence.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during the day, commonly observed foraging on the ground or perched in low trees.
