November 16, 2011

Another day with no photograph taken. I would like to share this one on here, though!
It was taken after the photo that I posted yesterday.
The Oxpecker was trying to get into the Giraffe's ear and it was amazing to see it shake the bird off.
These birds have very sharp nails and actually dig into the host's skin to hang on while it feeds

"Pretty Ugly"
It is extremely windy here today and this fly held on for dear life - allowing me to get very close.

At first I thought it was the same type of fly as the one that I photographed on 8 November.
Although the colouring is the same, the head is quite different.
