Oxpecker shower station .....

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks .... another spraying giraffe .
Image taken in Nxai Pan NP of Botswana in 2018 .
Temperatures around 36 - 42 degrees celsius .... would have liked to have better light , but mother nature gave me the option to shoot during the hottest time of the day .
Due to the heat haze and the long lens , the IQ is not 100 % .... but think not necessary because it also documents the harsh conditions the animals are living in .
