Southern Carmne bee-eater with catch
I was fortunate to spend the past 6 days in the Okavango Delta with a group of photographers. We had great fun and fantastic opportunities. I photographed this bee-eater at a small colony on the river. We stood above the colony and photographed the birds as they returned from foraging sorties with food for their chicks in the nest holes in the river bank. This guy caught what looks like a bumble bee, with pollen still attached to its legs.
