Looks like Swallow-tailed (p. 261, Sinclair, Hockey and Tarboton) if tail is forked. _______________________ | |||

We heard them called both emerald bee eaters by the locals, and also swallow-tailed by some other people. Don't know the correct name for sure Here's one of many from central Namibia.  | |||

Swallow-tailed Bee-eater, Merops hirundineus.  It is the only swallow-tailed bee-eater, and the blue collar is the other give-away. | |||

It is interesting that these are so similar to the various bee eater species in India! An interesting annecdote - in the 1980s, when I used to work in the Tea Plantations in Inida, one evening I was taking a walk with my shotgun to see if I could get a Jungel fowl for the pot. I crossed a stream and stood right in front of a eucalyptus tree with a bee eater on the trunk - its beak imbedded in the tree! No idea how it happened - a freak of nature or if some kid shot it with a sling shot and just left it there! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
