A little splash of colour from South Luangwa!
Few birds can rival the incredible colours of a carmine bee-eater, especially when they come hurtling towards you at speed!
Trying to photograph these little rockets in flight is certainly a test of patience, timing and your camera’s autofocus! Thank god for the epic Nikon Europe camera systems.
But when everything comes together, they’re an absolute joy to photograph.
One of Africa’s most spectacular birds, and certainly one of my favourites to photograph here in Zambia!
