EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot from Yala National Park, Sri Lanka, we witness a truly extraordinary dining experience. An Indian Pond-heron, sporting its non-breeding plumage, has discovered an unconventional culinary paradise atop the head of a Domestic Water Buffalo. With incredible precision and agility, our feathered hero is caught mid-action as it skillfully snatches flies buzzing around the buffalo's head submerged in water. It seems that this heron has found the perfect perch for its gourmet feast! As nature showcases its remarkable symbiotic relationships, we can't help but marvel at how these two species have come together to create such a unique moment. The buffalo finds respite from pesky insects while our heron enjoys an all-you-can-eat buffet right on top of its companion's crown. This image perfectly captures the essence of wildlife in action - showcasing not only their adaptability but also their ability to find unexpected solutions for survival. Amidst the lush wetlands and tropical beauty of Yala National Park, both creatures demonstrate their resourcefulness and resilience. So next time you spot a bird perched on an animal's head or see something out-of-the-ordinary happening in nature – remember this fascinating encounter between our Indian Pond-heron and Domestic Water Buffalo!
