Rainbow Bee-eaters are nesting. We watched 3 pairs tending underground nest-holes in a 50m stretch of riverbank

Here, a male lands on a handy lookout branch over the water's edge with a dragonfly for the chicks, & takes a precautionary look around before flying into their hole

In another both parents on the lookout branch, seen through tall grass hiding the hole. Male to the left just landed & showing off the golden undersides of his wings
