    White Fronted Bee Eaters. I posted these guys a little while ago, but they were all looking to the right. Here is the frame before, all looking to the left. Taken on a private farm. Cleaned some white stuff from the perch, which is a protruding root from a tree in an embankment.

    Exceptional capture, Stuart, with three of these beauties all facing the same way, all holding bees. Well done.

    Love how all the colors come together in this image. Perch adds to the image as does the fine detail and great subject matter.

    Looks like you caught them on lunch break! I like the colours, sharpness and prey. Beautiful image Stuart.

    This is terrific. Excellent capture and it tells a great story. It's lunchtime and we all get to eat! I have always loved pictures with 3 birds and this one ticks all the boxes. Good BG, great symmetry! I wish this was mine!

    Wow, you must be joking, great poses, bees in beaks, and not 2 but 3 of them, with great BG.
    Very nice!
