Carmine bee-eaters
November 8, 2009
The last couple months have been very busy and I haven’t had a chance to edit many images – which unfortunately means that the blog has been a little quiet recently. Things are starting to calm down a little now as the safari season comes to an end and so I will be posting more often in the coming weeks.
The Carmine bee-eaters have been active as usual this year, frantically digging their nests in the banks of the Luangwa river so that they can nest, raise their chicks and be gone again before the river fills with the coming rains. A couple shots..
