This little bird is called a little bee eater. They are fairly common throughout much of Africa. This one was in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. I liked the nice clean background and tried to include more of it in the composition.

I agree with you. I like the nice clean background, and he was enough. For a small bird, his confidence is beautiful.
Sean, nice wee one -:)! Did you take this photo with your D300 and 200-400mm lens?
Thanks Brian, yes, that was the combo (at f/5.6 and 320th of a second).
Very pretty bird. He looks like a parakeet but for the long beak…..the better to eat bees I guess!
Great shot and composition
Beautiful.
