Symbiotic relationship

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

Symbiotic relationship

Birds can be pests at times, but as you can see from the above photo they can also be quite helpful.

I know that when I’m outdoors at dusk or walking in a forest during the summer I tend to get swarmed with bugs (usually mosquitoes). It might actually be nice to have a few birds around to pick them off me like they are doing to the gazelle? in the picture.

    This is SUPERB shot! what a beautiful gazelle, especially with the way its head was turned… the birds must be having a real feast (they cannot seem to stop pecking)… a great example of symbiosis and of great composition:)…
