Rainbow Bee Eater

Day 11 - Port Douglas, FNQ

Not the best shot I know but I have only ever seen these on one or two occasions so I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity of posting Nanna's shot of a Rainbow Bee Eater that was flitting around our caravan park just outside of Port Douglas (or so I am told).
Nanna saw him, Nanna took the shot from long range, I missed out completely.

BoB I've been told

Nanna did well to spot it. Camouflaged in well. They are beautiful birds.

[Valerie Chesney]

Well spotted Nanna, great on black, even his yellow neck band blends in with the camouflage...

[M. Brutus]

Very well camouflaged bird. You did a good job to spot and photograph him.

[MB]

He does stand out a little more on black. He certainly blends in with the tree.

[Diana]

It sure is a difficult to spot bird! Lucky you!

[Peter]

Well I've never seen one at all !!!, well spotted Terry bet it was a challenge to find it blends into its surroundings perfectly:)

[Sam]

I would love to see one of these as well. Good work Poppo :) FAV

[Denise Wood]

Great camouflage :)

[Poppo Livy]

@pcoulson @gigiflower I didn't do anything. Never even saw it. I was off chasing non-existent sunsets

[Merrelyn]

Nanna did well to see it. They can be hard to spot. I've only seen them in Kununurra :)
