I believe I saw these guys on the banks of the Zambezi during my stay at Mana Pools, Zimbabwe.
Hello my friend, thank you for this amazing sharing😘🙏🌹♥ Christine from Canada
It's great to see Dan in a video and photographing and not just greeting the guests coming back from activities and behind the reception desk (which we do appreciate). Dan to become the next KZread influencer sensation. And yes the Carmie Bee-eater I'm yet photograph, but always wanted to.

It really is!
A pretty awesome sight. I'm very envious. You did a great job. Thanks for the tips and guidance. I'm certainly not strong enough to carry/hold those f2.8 lenses. Nowadays the most weight I can muster is my Nikkor 400mm f/4.5 though I'm entirely happy with the results from it and it's remarkably light. I hope one day I can see the Carmine Bee-Eater too having seen Asian Green Bee-Eater in Tadoba, India recently.
Thank you for sharing your experience

thks for the handy tip on using f8 as my photos always has blur on the wing tips.If I go higher on f stop say f11 what would be the advantage/disadvantage .That would be capturing bee eaters and similar sizes.
Another great look at a unique opportunity in incredible Namibia. Well done William and Dan!

Great location, what AF setting would you recommend using? I use Cannon R6.
The parts where William is narrating in the background are a bit off (just left channel is active)
Is Oct-Nov the only time of year to photograph these bee-eaters?

These bee-eaters can be seen for most of the year in small numbers but only nest between September and late November, as seen here.
