Birds of Africa
The Carmine Bee Eater had to be hands down the jewel in the crown for me. Hard to find, and even harder to catch, we had just a few minutes to follow them through the thick scrub and hope to get a clear shot. These little jewels have inspired me to one day go back again and find them.
Giant Kingfisher
He was very chill, allowing us to come quite close up on the riverbank.
The Giant Kingfisher - we saw him on just a few occasions -what a beauty he was !
Too close! We interrupted his fishing view so off he went.
Lilac Roller
An aerial dance for his girfriend
The Lilac Roller - this row and below
Fast and colourful
We found his nest! ( or rather he tolerated us finding it )
Pied Kingfisher
What a gorgeous bird to photograph! A little smaller than a kookaburra but with that fiesty kingfisher-y ability.
White Cheeked Bee Eater
Little Bee Eaters
small but mighty!
Malachite Kingfisher
as small as your hand, but faster than your eye.
