The Northern Carmine Bee-eater was a bird I'd missed on all my African trips (all right, it wasn't split when I first missed it and on some it was Southern I didn't get) and was about the top of my wanted list so this was a joyful occasion for me! I got flight shots as it moved from one bush to another. We quickly determined that it wasn't flighty, just hunting between a few preferred perches, and then we were able to cautiously advance on it.
