Ostrich Eating Stones?

Ostrich seen eating stones to aid digestion

It is not uncommon for Ostrich to eat small stones and sand to aid with their digestion. This behavior is quite well known but has typically not been photographed at all in the Wild. 

When we caught these juvenile Ostrich enjoying their strange dessert in Tsavo East, the opportunity to photograph this was perfect. I carefully approached them so as not to disturb their natural routine and with some patience managed to get really close so as to fully capture all the interesting details.

The Colobus Monkeys Of Diani Beach

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
