Bee Eater

Hi all.

Here is a Bee Eater from Tanzania, Africa. For some reason it is one of my favorite captures from that trip.

Hi Callie.

This one would fly off and grab a bug then fly back like some Flycatchers do so it only took patience.

Hi Yezdi.

Thanks, the only background was quite far away, so even with a fairly long lens there was no detail.
