GIRAFFE SPLATS A BIRD OF SPRAY

★ A BIRD gets a soaking after flying a little too close to a fun-loving giraffe. The red-billed oxpecker was left drenched after it got caught in the stream of water at the Chobe National Park in Botswana, southern Africa.

★ Photographer Nick Dale, 54, from London, said: “The giraffe was dribbling water... and one of the oxpeckers got caught in the stream.”
