The buffalos apparently come here to eat and have a clean-up by the birds. I took this photo a long time ago in India at a beach.

Think that the birds are welcome guests for the buffalo to get rid of some insects and/or parasites, Raj.
An unique capture of a scene that we don't see that much.

PS: I even see a shoe. Hope that its owner wasn't drowned there, 😁 .

Nature is indeed amazing - a buffalo being groomed by a flock of birds is not something most of us will ever see.
Thanks for a glimpse into a different world Raj

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I too have not seen this before but horses and flies also have an affinity for each other so why not birds and buffalo. Interesting and well captured shot Raj.

Good one Raj, it shows that animals can work as a team, and I think many times much better than us humans. tigs=^..^=

Unique photo Raj. It would be a good entry for the current animals contest. That must be one messy buffalo to need a cleanup crew like that.

Great capture Raj - the buffalo get a nice meal and so do the birds - a true symbiotic interaction!!!!!!!!!!!

A unique and great shot, Raj...it's neat how animals help each other out...and I agree, would make a good contest entry.

Quite the symbiotic relationship going on here.

Lovely and interesting capture, Raj, the lazy buffaloes are lucky with these busy birds.
