Very cool, Jude.
Good job! You were able to capture some interesting behavior.
I guess that is a good way to get rid of parasites.

Hi Socrate, glad to know its find interesting for many. I never thought they must be doing this to get rid of the parasites. Very interesting to know about it as well. A Bird study group in Singapore is also shared my video in there blog as it was interesting for them to study their behaviour.

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.
Eric


Eric they are actually sand bathing on the road. You can see the jeep tracks as well.
