Foraging in the Serengeti with its bad self.

Little Bee-eater /
The Little Bee-eater is a bright, energetic, bundle of energy and is common throughout Tanzania.
This one has its sights set on a bee that wandered a bit too close for its own safety.
The bee never had a chance.
This guy was perched near the hippo pool at Lake Manyara National Park. Swarms of insects kept him busy.
I love that spectacular birds can be commonplace birds. I often take a second look at the my local birds and find them equally spectacular although my amazement is easily dulled by familiarity. Nevermore!
Hornbills /
In the forests near Lake Manyara a Silvery-cheeked Hornbill sits for a portrait.
They are tremendously charismatic birds and we watched them foraging for crabs in the undergrowth.
In the Serengeti an African Grey Hornbill keeps a watchful eye for movement in the tall grass.
It comes away with an insect. A small but important meal nonetheless.
Back at Manyara, a Crowned Hornbill calls to its mate.
Blue Monkey /
Blue Monkey yawn at Manyara National Park in Tanzania.
Hands and feet. These monkeys were delightful to watch.
Must be something tasty on that big toe.
Nice to be back! See you tomorrow folks.
