I just love Bee-eaters
I can’t decide which are my favorite shots.
I love the pose, almost shy.

Then there’s the symmetry.

And the flash of the wings as they flit away.

I finally managed to capture a bee-eater in flight. These two got my attention. One would fly off, presumably to catch a bug, and then return to the other. Maybe it was feeding it because they seemed to share the food. After a while I realised that if I just waited and held my breath, with my finger on the button, eventually I might be able to catch one in flight.
Needless to say, I have many pics of a single bird, having been too slow or simply missing my chance. But I’m so pleased to have these.
