Rainbow Bee-eater ( Juv ) (Merops ornatus)

Looks like we are in for a soaking over the next few days with a tropical cyclone due to cross the coast a few hundred klm north of here.
200 to 400 mm of rain expected .
Better batten down the hatches.

Not quite so pretty as dad perhaps... but he's not far off, is he LOL.

A super picture Ken, thanks for finding him.
 
Cracking birds...Super capture Ken, and you stay safe my BF friend. Regarding the copyright/watermark...I didn't want to do it, as I hate to see them slapped all over pics. But I had a couple of pics nicked (Not sure if from here on BF or elsewhere?) and the person who nicked em posted em on Twitter, and even had the nerve to put their own copyright on em mate.
