Mammals of Southern Africa
Buffalo and Oxpecker
I took a picture of this female buffalo in South Luangwa National Park. There were a lot of oxpeckers with the herd and I waited for one of them to appear on a buffalo head before clicking.
Shooting in the rainy season gives a beautiful green background.
I used my 500mm lens on a monopod and shot from the safari car.
