Last catch of the day...

White-fronted Bee-eaters perched in the late afternoon near their nesting holes in a sandbank on an island in the Kafue River (Kafue NP, Zambia).

The guides had put a branch on the sandbank before the breeding season to facilitate observation from a boat. In their typical behavior, the bee-eaters fly off to catch insects in their acrobatic flight and return to consume these.
