White Rhino and Starling

Since 1993 I have been traveling on a regular basis to the Pilanesberg NP in South Africa.

I like the park because it is close to Johannesburg, and it is a malaria free zone. Because of that it is also fine to visit the park with children.
In the early 90's it was difficult to see rhinos there, but in the last years the population has been growing fast, and in these days for sure one will get in touch with them.

Anyhow, to get a nice picture is always very challenging. I was happy, when this starling landed at the shoulder of this white rhino.

Together with the smooth early light it gave the image what I consider a magical touch...
