I will remember the 3th of february as little bee-eater day. I saw many, many of them in Bijilo reserve in Gambia. I sneaked upon this one and made a couple of photo's. Hope you like it. For more detailed info about this bird I refer to a previous posting.

You are a lucky man, being near to that reserve Zeno, this really is a perfect capture of a bee-eater my friend, TFS indeed!

Hola Zeno.
Este pequeño si que tiene hermosos colores en su plumaje. Tonos en verde metalico y pecho amarillo verdadeamente contrastan. La elegante pose y el detalle de su pico bien abierto hacen de esta foto una exelente presentacion.
Saludos Zeno.

Hi Zeno,
Splendid shot of this Bee-eater and a fine action captured. Awesome colours and sharpness on its plumage and that red eye looks gorgeous. I like the blue sky as BG which highlights the subjects. Very nice composition. Kudos.

Bonjour Zeno,

Bravo pour cette belle prise. L'oiseau est superbe et les couleurs sont extra. Bravo pour les détails.
Merci.
Joseph

Except for the slightly blurred tail, this would make a perfect documentary shot for this species. Amazingly clean background and the open beak is a bonus.

Hi Zeno,
This is a really nice side profile of the bee-eater. The colors on this bird are beautiful. you have achieved a nice exposure showing very nice detail. Well done. :)

Hello Zeno.

Excellent image, nice coposition and colors.
Very good details.

Regards.
Jose Luis.
