These magnificent Antelope rarely stand still , they are notoriously timid.
We were quite lucky to find this "bold" mle in quite good light in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

A very striking animal, and those horns are really something. I like the little bird on his back, and the curl in his tail. If they are rarely seen, that makes it even better.

Nice one Ken. A beautiful antelope indeed. The oxpecker on his back is an added bonus.
