On a trip to Botswana and the Okavango Delta I came across several different Bee-eaters. The Little Bee-eater was the most common. This one had been flying back and forth from a perch it was enjoying while hunting for flying insects. Between flights it took a break and did a little stretching to stay in shape. Camera was a Canon 7D Mk II with the Canon 500mm f4 lens on a tripod. Settings as follows. Aperture 5.6, speed 1/500 sec and ISO was at 200
