Description: These Yellow-billed Oxpeckers are great to observe . They follow the buffalo's and the buffalo's mostly tolerate them , even though they sometimes find the parasites in the very uncomfortable places .

Story from behind the lens: I was able to take this picture in the Maasai Mara in February 2022. I love these birds . They are always active , inventive and somtimes just fun to watch. The buffalo's mostly tolerate them , even though they sometimes find the parasites in the very uncomfortable places . I love taking pictures with a lot of environment around it . It can make the subject more interesting.
