[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Blue Throated Bee Eater (Merops viridis)
These were in season earlier part of the month in the north. They were found in large numbers in a field. Taken from my car with the lens mounted on a bean bag it was the safest way of getting close without spooking the bird.

hi Phil

Impressive sharpness and bokeh effect on this shot. The 800mm lens may be capable of better sharpness than this?
