In mid-2007 I went on a holiday crossing Australia South to North from Adelaide to Darwin by road, I visited the Kakadu National Park on a day trip from Darwin where I quickly snapped this great photo of a cute pair of Rainbow Bee Eaters sitting back to back on a tree branch before they flew off.

Love your pictures,
How did you get the shot of the Ranibow Bee Eater snapping the insect? I look forward to seeing more of your pictures.

EDITOR: luck, a good quality camera lense and patience

That’s a lovely photo. Beautiful birds – are they pretty rare? Hope to go birding in Australia some year soon. Can I ask, what level of optical zoom was used?

EDITOR: They’re more common in Northern and Central Australia. Optical zoom was 12x
