I have fallen madly in love with giraffes on this trip. How anyone could shoot one of these beautiful creatures and fold its neck in half for a stupid trophy photo is beyond me. #Tanzania

The only thing better than one Böhm’s Bee-eater, is two of these beautiful birds!

📍Mbuyuni Farm Retreat, Morogoro, Tanzania.

#Tanzania #Birds #NaturePhotography 🪶
Slim green bee-eater with an orange throat and crown, a black tip to the tail, and elongated black tail streamers. Found very locally in moist woodland and forest edge, usually near rivers and streams. Typically in pairs or small groups. The call is an up-and-down series of high-pitched whistles.

Malachite Kingfisher - an absolute gem!

📍Bagamoyo, Tanzania.

#Birds #NaturePhotography #Tanzania 🪶
Small, gem-like wetland kingfisher. Shows geographical variation, with most birds having orange underparts, but birds in some parts of the range have a white belly. Found in almost all habitats with water, including streams, rivers, lakes, rice paddies, and lagoons. Sits motionless for long periods before plunging to the water to snatch prey.

Never get tired of seeing white-browed coucals. They’re a kind of cuckoo with a long claw on a hind toe. These are some seriously handsome, big birds. Serengeti NP, Aug 2025.

If you search the #tanzania and #kenya hashtags on Bluesky, 99% of the information is pictures of birds. And while I love birds myself, considering the very significant political developments that are happening in both countries this week, this is truly frustrating.

Found very locally in moist woodland and forest edge, usually near rivers and streams. Typically in pairs or small groups. The call is an up-and-down series of high-pitched whistles. Somewhat similar to Madagascar Bee-eater, but smaller and slimmer, and without broad white stripes on the face.
