Colourful Characters

A selection of the more colourful bird life I managed to image.

A group of 5 Bee-eaters entertained me for ages at Acheleia reedbeds, the only time I saw these wonderful birds during the whole trip.

As for the Cockatiel, well, this is one of a pair that were enjoying their freedom at Goudi, just down the road from where we stayed.
