Indian Grey Hornbill

Madhya Pradesh

I saw a white coloured hornbill nearby Jiwaji university campus, Gwalior(MP).. It was sitting in a large tree.. but soon I had to leave due to an urgent work. But I still had in mind the sighting of the beautiful bird and wondered what could have made it migrate to such a open area? Does it have some habitat nearby ? Or was it natural for it to migrate here? Is it due to recent rainy season that it had migrated ? Maybe it is found here in Gwalior too ( although I haven’t seen them much ) ..
