Finally got the chance to photograph these bee-eaters "swimming" ;D:  ISO 500 @ 1/1000 s, AI Servo back dive!  ISO 500 @ 1/1600 s, AI Servo take-off!  |

These were taken in the farm's reservoir between 12 noon to 1 PM (skipped lunch ;D). More:  ISO 500, 1/2500 s, f/7.1 AI Servo cannonball!  ISO 500, 1/2500 s, f/7.1 AI Servo It was really challenging trying to track them in flight and got a really low number of useable shots. That means I have to go back and practice! ;D |

Wow, great BIF shots, Neil. I never knew bee-eaters dive into water. Were these going for bugs in the water or little fish?

Wow, great BIF shots, Neil. I never knew bee-eaters dive into water. Were these going for bugs in the water or little fish? Thank you sir! I've observed them doing it only at high noon, so maybe they're cooling off and getting a drink at the same time? Hope to get more shots of this interesting behavior. ;D Neil |
