A lovely diagonal pose and striking color in the bird. When I see an image from Zambia, I normally think of an animal, so it's refreshing to see an attractive bird from the area. It's just beautiful, Carol.

Very unique colors for Bee Eater. I would love to see this bird in flight with all those red colors flashing.

As a bee-eater fan this is one of my targets. Well done and I am jealous.

Wow- brilliant colors-must have been a thrill to see! Such a pleasure to tour the world in birds I'll never encounter-looks like this is a rarity too. Thanks for the eye-candy. :)
