Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater

Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater: Crater lakes near Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Leaving the Chimpanzee Forest Lodge on our way to Queen Elizabeth National Park, we take a back road over the ridge, past a few of the many crater lakes (sink hole lakes) in the area, and always stop for the colony of Cinnamon-chested Bee-eaters that nests along the road where it passes close between too of the lakes. Like all bee-eaters, the Cinnamon-breasted is an active bird…and, while it might perch, it is continuously “sallying” out for insects. Beautiful bird! And of course we saw a good number of other species while watching the bee-eaters. More to come. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
