Hampstead Wetland 21Feb25

From KH

Continuing from the last trip, the Oriental Pied-hornbill mother and chicks were still sealed in the tree hole at Hampstead Wetland Park. The father had to bring back food for the family.

First, he would go to a nearby perch.

Then, he would go to the nest and start feeding, in this case, by regurgitating figs.
