Southern Carmine Bee-eater
This is another image from my trip to the Okavango Delta in October. The bee-eaters were nesting in the river bank at Shakawe village. They would hawk insects and then often settle on a steel railing before jumping off and entering the nest. This is what this bird is doing. I cleaned up the background (which is the river) by removing the steel railing and another distracting bird in the background.
