The white-fronted bee-eater will cling like a woodpecker with spread tail to the side of a mud bank to feed young or to sunbathe. Nests are burrowed into the side of a sandy hill or bank. The right 3rd row photo was taken in Selous (11-17), courtesy of Paul Oliver. The bird with dragonfly was photographed in Arusha NP (2-08), courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst. The other photos were taken in Ngaramtoni, Ilboru, TGT-Arusha, Lengijave and Oldonyo Sambu. Click the photo above to see 22 enlargements including juveniles and immatures.
