The sighting was at Gundbala village in Uttara Kannada district. The hornbill flock seemed to be getting ready to disperse from their roosting site - time of observation was ~ 6:15 am. The image uploaded has been compressed, but the original image is also hazy due to low light conditions. About half the flock was on an adjacent tree.
