Description: The first of thousands of wildebeest cross the Talek river in early July

Story from behind the lens: The crossing was all over in a flash. Had we been 15 minutes later we'd have missed the entire event as almost 10,000 animals crossed the river in under 10 minutes. The first crossing i've been lucky enough to witness but hopefully not the last.
