White fronted Bee eater

 Some of my personal favourites white Fronted Bee Eaters are quite common - but devilishly hard to photograph. They are quite small and always busy feeding. Your one chance is to spot the perh they are using to hunt from (they catch bees on the wing) and hope to get one still long enough for a photo.

White-fronted Bee Eater society is perhaps the most complex of any bird species known; these colonial nesters are monogamous, pairing for life; may switch frequently between breeding parent and helper roles when rearing young.
