Elephants scared by flock of birds

Some incredible images of an elephant pair that got scared away by a jumbo cloud of small red-billed queleas, while they were peacefully trying to drink from the Satao Camp water hole in East Tsavo, Kenya.

Pictures were taken by photographer Antero Topp, who was at the Satao Camp water hole at that time.

He said: “There are big trees close to waterhole where the birds landed and at that time we suddenly heard a strong crack. A huge branch had been broken by the weight of these tiny birds despite them only weighing about 10 grams each. All the birds took off and you could hear an unbelievable whoosh…”
