  • Rainbow Bee-eaters

    We just had a few days in Bundjalung National Park in Northern NSW. On one of the walks I found many Rainbow Bee-eaters (Merops ornatus) busy catching insects. I have a lot of shots to sort through.

    I may end up doing some further cloning and cropping but this will do for now.

      Looking good Alan - interesting branch. I like how you have one of them with a bug.

      I haven't been anywhere near one of these beauties - jealous

              Beautiful birds. Nice picture. Been past there on quite a few occasions never even knew there was a NP there, see the sign little Italy though.. Obviously switched off for long drive.

              than a full frontal lobotomy.

                Thanks Hans. This was our first time in this national park, but have driven past it fairly often.

              2 nice bee eaters. think the perch and angle tends to overpower this shot, but I know you know that. better to have a bee eater pic than not

                Thanks Stephen. I intend to try removing some of the branches and cropping a bit tighter from left and top, just need some motivation.
