For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of birds in their #natural habitat, here are two Red-billed Oxpeckers in a spot where they're frequently found - pecking on a hippo's back! A couple of terrapins have joined the party. Taken in Sabi Sands, South Africa.

A beautiful view of the wonderous Dun Briste sea stack...
Dun Briste provides us with a rare glimpse of the Carboniferous. (A 60-million-year-long period lasting from about 359 million to 299 million years ago)
