This bird is called a little bee eater. And, of course, what good is a bee eater if it isn’t eating a bee? Little bee eaters are fairly common throughout Africa. This one was photographed in the Linyanti swamp in northern Botswana.
Thanks Richard.
Hey Mom, bee eaters dart through the air catching their prey and then return to the same perch to eat it. I just waited a couple of minutes until this guy made the catch and returned to the perch.
