I wasn't sure whether to post this in the birds or wildlife section.  A few Yellow-billed Oxpeckers on top of a male Cape Buffalo photographed in Chobe, Botswana

Cracking image Nate of this bull. Excellent details and clarity in the fur. Believe the Oxpeckers are Yellow billed, but not losing any sleep on that Nate.

Thats alright Nate.  Tricky things those bills... Trouble is, once I've seen it, I'm torn between keeping comments on the image and the niggle of not giving a "heads up" out of courtesy, looking like the comment being just a platitude.  1st world problems... cheers

Classic cape buffalo with attendant oxpeckers, Nate. This bull looks so proud of his additional adornments with his regal pose, and the detail is excellent.

How dignified the Buffalo looks! It's as if he is just tolerating the oxpeckers with aloof, while they look like they are having a good time. :) Wonderful shot!
