a pretty pair

The female rainbow bee eater has the shorter tail streamers, otherwise they are pretty much the same. They are quite small and have a lovely little trilling sound as they fly about catching insects on the wing.
Thank you for the awesome comments and questions on my photos.

Do you have these on your property too? They are fabulous birds and so interesting. Their underground nests always seem so vulnerable. I love how you have managed to catch them in the matching poses!
