PLEASE VIEW LARGE – Swallow Tailed Bee Eater – Merops hirundineus – I photographed this beautiful bird near Mata Mata, Kgalagadi, Kalahari, Northern Cape, South Africa. Mata Mata is on the Namibian border. The background is the sun filtering through the gold African grasses forming a natural backlit backdrop.
