They look crap but presumably offer some protection for the chicks, though not from each other (see the murderous activities within the nests in my previous post ). Here is one: when taking photos of elephants, an 800 mm tele lens is not the best equipment. Blue-throated Bee-eaters build nests on sticks sticking out of the water.

Tell me, what happens if we rip away hunting when hunting protects more wildlife land in Africa than national parks? Although lip service was paid to the fact that lions are endangered and a lion was poached, the language of anger was the language of animals rights.
