a white fronted bee eater (merops albicollis).

this kind of bee eater con be found in south africa all the year around.it's a lovely bird and in some areas quite common.

in photography the hardest part is in this case to get the details of the white front.the whites are very easy to be "fired" especially in canon.take care on exposure!

Bee photos, these are becoming increasingly hard to get, especially here in Essex. Many of the gardens I visit have had a real decrease in numbers. On my walks into the countryside Buddleja, Thistle and other wild flowers there is hardly anything. Is there a cure?

This is another of at least three varieties of Bumble bees on the flowers in the area.

A bee can never resist a flower in bloom.

I've just returned from another trip to Serbia, leading a Bird Photography Tour for 3 clients. One of the highlights was the fabulous Bee-eater colony. Here the light was very soft which I found much more appealing for capturing the birds' plumage.
