A Red-billed Oxpecker "combing" the neck of a Giraffe for ticks.
I wish I could have had a photo of the Yellow-billed Kite that hit me on the back of the head with his wing and stole
my sandwich out of my hand - just as I was having a bite!
It nicked my finger with a talon - thankfully it did not grab me in the face...
We unsuspectingly stopped at the picnic spot at Hilltop Camp to have our breakfast.
Quite a frightening experience, but a good tale to tell one day while sitting
in a rocking chair on the porch of an old age home! |
