Will the snake manage to escape these birds?

Environmental consultant Keith Raine and his wife Tracey captured the attack in the Dinokeng Game Reserve, just north of Pretoria.

Raine described the experience: “During a camping weekend, we came across this group of arrow-marked babblers and a glossy starling attacking a juvenile boomslang. It was very interesting to watch!”

“The snake made it to the grass where the birds backed off. As we drove past the snake it had lost both its eyes, so it didn’t look too hopeful.”
