This is wonderful. The contrast between the zebra and the red of the bird's beak is great.

I don't often see photos of oxpeckers this close-up
Well done on beautiful image.
Jumbo22 (64 months ago | reply)
Thanks for the comment :-)
The composition was not really my choice LOL. The zebra was standing close to me and the Oxpecker hid away on the other side of the zebra, only peeking out every now and then to see if I’m still there.
