A pop of colour

between the grazing zebras on our game drive at Villeira.

Fortunately the game ranger saw it flying around and waited for it to settle. It was still too far away, so once again heavily cropped in gigapixel.

My first sighting and capture of a European Bee Eater.

An amazing shot, Diana!

[Heather]

Wow! How exciting! And what a fascinating shot! I love how your shallow dof has resulted in this pretty bird being framed by the blurred stripes of the zebras! And such a sharp focus to capture the bird! Big fav!
