I hope you guys are not getting bored with my bee eater images. I like how we can see the shadow of the meal in the beak of the landing bee eater. It is a stink bug. If only the perched bee eater had moved to the left. Taken last month on a private farm.

Incredible image, so 3D! Not nice being called a Stink bug, poor thing.
Great shot, wish it were mine

Wonderful shot Stuart love the fact both Bee Eaters have prey in their beaks.

Twin catches, well done Stuart! The lighting is very nice as well, good detail here.

Yes allways room for another of these birds. You certainly did well with this visit. Love the wing spread, exposure and light. The colours are spot on and birds with prey a bonus.
