Bird Watching: More birds from Downunder #3, 1 by MargaretK

A little way up the embankment in a dead tree were three Rainbow Bee-eaters. Their colours had faded considerably since Spring, but they remain very beautiful birds, nevertheless. The female is on the left and the youngster is on the right, with its back to me. The adults were repeatedly coming and going and I couldn't get a shot of all three at the one time.

There were lots flying around a couple of hundred feet up, barely visible in the sky and mostly located by the sound they make.
