Hello James,

Well, in the Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania the juv of Von Der Decken's Hornbill resembles female with dark horn-coloured bill, but has small white spots on wing-coverts.

Greetings All,

On my way back from Watamu in August I passed through Tsavo East and drove along the Galana River.  Took a picture of the attached bird which I initially thought was a Van-der-Dekens female.  After discovering that it could be a Jacksons Female albeit a country mile outside its normal range I have spent two months looking at picures, reading up every scrap of information and sharing it with everyone I could think of. 99% sure this is a Jacksons seen in Tsavo East.    Brian Finch and Mike Davidson asked me to post it here as apparently there is no record of any sighting east of the rift valley.

Regards,

James Kashangaki
