Comment from Charlie Newman
Nice to see the bond between the birds (I assume feeding off the insects) and the hippo. Probably the only ones safe that close. Nice composition and a well written explanation of the dangers related to the hippo. Very good camera techniques.

Intersting and informative notes! Thanks. This fatso looks so harmless and docile. Cant imagine he can run fast and kill people. This is a nice shot with natural colours and composition. Thanks for sharing!

A very nice nature shot posted here! Looks like he is pretty hungry out there after all that swimming around. Your photo benefits from being well composed with good exposure and sharpness. Nicely taken!
