cooling

a southern carmine bee eater(merops nubicoides) cooling on his perch.

this beautiful bird is the biggest african bee eater (till 38cm).

as they need a lot of big flying insects they visit southern parts of africa just in summer season

when they can find enough food.

they spent winter in central africa.
