Northern carmine bee-eater

Wassu Stone Circles

The Gambia

 

One of most beautiful Gambian bee-eaters.

 

To photograph this beautiful and not very common bee-eater we had to leave the coast and travel for two days through the countryside to a small island in the River Gambia (McCarthy Island) under a scorching Sun and a humidity of around 95 %.

Only saw them once and in a restricted area near Wassu
