Apropos dining on their benefactor, the ox peckers sometimes do, even though ticks and bugs are their main diet. And why they are tolerated and welcomed by their "hosts". You will just have to imagine this kudu being an ox.

Another artiodactyl, but one not commonly followed by cattle egrets.

Cattle egrets are commonly seen around herds of buffalo as well. I suppose they got their name for a reason...

Nice shot, interesting bokeh.

A water buck demonstrating why it is so-called.

Nice shot, interesting bokeh.

Thanks, the 55-300 can produce some nice bokeh at times.

[WPRESTO]

I can do another birdie, although the best BIF images have all been posted.

[savoche]

Another BNIF A masked Weaver - with more 55-300 bokeh.

Here's about the last of my decent hyena images.

A BNIF shot with no bokeh! Saw this guy at the marina yesterday morning, making the usual clucking sound associated with the species. He stayed there for quite awhile, even as our small dog cautiously approached him. I did what I could with the cluttered background, armed with a little P&S camera.

Last shot of a common (golden) jackal.

A Common Loon:

K-3 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 WR

[WPRESTO]

Probably taken with a Bigma

[savoche]

Another heron. Definitely taken with an SMC DA 55-300.

[savoche]

Another 55-300 shot. And a bucketful of bokeh


Spying a lion.

Probably pleasant for the vultures! Nice shot.

Not to mention the fact that the situation would be worse for the surrounding residents if the vultures weren't cleaning up (imagine if the undertakers and garbage collectors went on strike). Thank you, vultures!
