Field Notes

Description:

The bee eaters are colorful old world insectivores. The little bee eater, as it name suggests is smaller than most and has a yellow and brown throat with blue-green back

Habitat:

Impalila island conservancy

Notes:

It was so hot that all the birds were either panting or hiding n what little shade they could find. We were glad the boat had a shade cover
