the southern carmine bee-eater is a colorful member of the bee-eater family endemic to sub-equatorial africa. they can be differentiated from the similar northern carmine bee-eater by their lack of a blue throat. as their name suggest, they primarily feed on flying insects with a preference for bees. they typically feed by swooping from a perch to catch an insect in flight. they are attracted to the insects displaced into the air during wildfires, and can be found actively feeding around fires.

Day 127: Artstyle challenge

Wanted to challenge myself by drawing teki in the styles of four of my favourite games (and also omori bc it has a pretty iconic style) not all of them are great replicas but I did have fun with it

Though strike week is over (at least here) still don’t stop talking about palestine! The free donation post will remain as the pinned post for this blog, so don’t forget to tap that link once a day

From the ask game! 6.) if you could choose any place in the world to visit, where would it be? why?

this is a hard, there's so many places i want to go! desperately want to visit namibia/botswana/mozambique/lesotho, it feels criminal that i haven't when they're right there (not really but you know what i mean). also italy, greece, turkey. norway as well

i'm going to go with the okavango delta in botswana. my mom and i used to talk about going there when i was older and then all...that happened. the birds, the water, the vistas, the animals. coppery-tailed coucal, southern carmine bee-eater, slaty egret are a few of the birds i'd like to see for the first time. i really wouldn't mind seeing a pel's fishing owl again, which it's apparently a good location for!
