I must admit that I hoped to photograph more species of bee-eaters and with better pictures. For where, if not in Africa, so colorful varieties of bee-eaters would be photographed. But not in South Africa. I managed to take some pictures of two species of bee-eaters, from the distance that the rest of my colleagues made no attempt of shooting. They have been many times to Africa and they have beautiful portraits of these wonderful, colorful birds as a result of such encounters with bee-eaters. Well, it happens, I have created galleries of the little bee-eater and the blue-cheeked bee-eater with modest, for the time being, content. This text is common to both species.
