Thank you for the info... My bird-knowledge really sucks (and I must say I actually haven't made an effort to learn them...)

This "Bombycilla garrulus " is a rare bird here in The Netherlands.
some years you wont's see them at all, and other years you will find some of them.
I do like the "Zorro"mask of this bird

Yes it is a Grey Hornbill. Nice-sighting! You normally see plenty of the Red-Billed and Yellow-Billed Hornbills but only a few of these.
