Tailem Bend South Australia

Had a fabulous time chasing Rainbow Bee Eaters near Tailem Bend South Australia, these beautiful fast little birds happen to be one of my personal favorite birds to “try” and photograph, they are stunningly beautiful and extremely fast when out hunting food, creates quite a challenge which I love the most.

Hope you enjoy some more images of these beautiful birds.

Just love these amazing birds, such a privilege to see and photograph these little stunners

The Rainbow Bee-Eater is a spectacular bird. With its green, blue, chestnut and yellow plumage, its slim build, slender curved bill and distinctive streamers that extend from the end of its tail, it is simply beautiful. Bee-Eaters are a familiar sight in many lightly-timbered parts of mainland Australia, where they often perch on fence-posts or overhead wires, then launch after flying insects, flying swiftly, sometimes with rapid twists and turns, before snapping the insect in its bill, and returning to the perch to eat it.


Bye for now…stay safe in these very difficult and challenging times…
