On Moday 16th October 2020 I spent a wonderful couple of hours on a beautiful morning with a group of Rainbow Bee-eaters (Merops ornatus). I watched them catch quite a few Bees, transfer Bees to their partnersand generally look beautiful in the morning light perching on some nice clean branches. A wonderful start to the day, I ceetainly went home smiling that day I can tell you.
