Spotted two grey hornbills for the first time right above my home on a neem tree at around 4:15 PM. The area can be considered polluted and not too many birds would be seen there untill recently (last couple of years). Residents along with some help from local mlc have been putting in efforts to keep the area clean and rejuvenate the parks in the locality and as a result at least 10 different bird species can be seen without have to put in efforts for sighting or use binoculars or telephoto/zoom lenses. Super excited 😊. Only disappointment was that my camera wasn't there with me at that time 😔
