Rietvlei Nature Reserve through Greenies' Eyes

Down the road I came across the European Bee-eaters









Suddenly I realised I had stumbled across the Branch Restaurant... oooh, I'm outta here. Invited to a Sunday lunch I couldn't stand the hunger pains anymore...

Thanks very much everybody for the lovely comments.

Wow Amoli - your kingfishers in flight and bee eaters photos are really really good. You seem to have mastered the art of photographing flying birds.
