Carmine on black & white

[Vincent Grafhorst]

Southern Carmine Bee-eater with a passing zebra in the background.

I was not close enough to the bee-eater to make a good photo of the bird itself, but when I saw a group a zebras passing in the BG I grabbed the opportunity for a different kind of bird photo.

Image made in the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Botswana.
