p.2 #1 · Green Bee-eaters� sand bathing�.

Too cool Jude....is it just bathing or a colony that nests in the sand. In parts of Botswana, carmine bee eaters nest in the sand when there aren't banks to build nest burrows.

They seem to be really enjoying their dust bath!

Hi Martin, they were doing it for about 5 - 10 minutes before flying away.

Great stuff, Jude.
Beautiful birds and images, and an interesting insight to their lives.
Wildlife is so fascinating in so many ways. Short of water? Bathe in dirt.
How many young boys have tried to make the same switcheroo?
And failed

Hi Charlie,
