“That’s the Spot!”
This well-timed snapshot was taken by Richard Flack in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Flack had come across a flock of crested guineafowl that allowed him to follow along as they were foraging in the area. At some point, he noticed one of the guineafowl taking time to scratch another’s head and ears, with the receiver seemingly enjoying the gesture.
“It’s not often you get to capture emotion in the faces of birds . . . but there was no doubt—that was one satisfied guineafowl!” said Flack.
