Two Rhinos & a cheeky Oxpecker. Photograph by Matt Parry, runner-up. On an early morning safari drive in the Amakhala game reserve, South Africa, we came across these two rhinos coming out of the mist. A little bird is hitching a ride with one of the rhinos. Comment by Mick Ryan, Judge: Is there any species more prehistoric-looking than the endangered white rhino. This beautiful image, including the little oxpecker, a bird that feeds on ticks on the bodies of large mammals, is both majestic and sad. Photography can document what is precious to us and be a starting point for action that will save the Earth and the living things that inhabit it.
