All the colours (Merops ornatus)

We took the track down towards the beach, but it took an awful long time to reach it, as the land to the right of the path had ummm.... well.... quite a bit of interest for us birders!

A small flock of Little Corellas flew noisily around the top of a distant tree, but an old dead tree nearer to hand had a beautiful, most colourful Rainbow Bee-eater, yet another Lifer for the day (I've not even seen the European one!)
