Must be the most annoying little Crappers in the bird Kingdom, unless you have Ticks of Course.
1Dx 200-400f/4, Shot @ 533mm f/5.6 & 1/320th ISO200
That's a very cool shot 8) I like itNicely done Edward
Thanks Click, and while some were Pecking the Crap out of his Head, these were having a Party on his Back, I think Buffalos probably hate Ox Peckers.
1Dx 200-400f/4, Shot @ 490mm f/5.6 & 1/800th ISO200
Well then, just my opinion...

Thanks RPT, always a quandary, Make the Copy right large enough to show, or small enough not to detract from the Image, I do this for Fun so less of an issue I guess, but appreciate the sentiment, really.
Ran into about 10 different Eagle Owls on the trip, previous few trips none, go figure, even seen one with only one Eye.

Wow...it looks like it got another bird of prey. Maybe a Kestrel?
Great shot !eml58 said:I posted one of these Birds earlier, cant remember where.
Lappet Faced Vulture, Trying to shoot these Birds gave me a new respect for Gary Samples and his Eagle Images, although these Guys come in slow & steady like a 747, they still present problems that give a healthy respect for People that consistently shoot amazing BIF Images.
Shot in Tanzania June 2013, 1Dx 200-400f/4 @ 280mm, probably the one place I felt I could have used the 600f/4 on this trip.
Another Bird that's heading to Extinction due to Poisoning, Habitat removal and general dislike.
These Guys when they turn up just own the Kill, they are the Largest and definitely the most aggressive, but strangely they are the first to Fly away when you approach them. Someone said they are a "Fugly Bird", but they are Majestic in Flight.

More an IL-76 minus the tail assembly as the wing attaches to the top of the fuselage...Click said:eml58 said:I posted one of these Birds earlier, cant remember where.

Beautiful. Yes the are great flyers, your comparison with a 747 is so true. Good timing on your shot. Nicely done.
