Northern carmine bee-eater at the job in Rotterdam Zoo

The okapi in the new enclosure at Rotterdam Zoo – that opened to the public Spring 2015 – are being kept company by several species, such as the crested guinea fowl (Guttera pucherani) and the northern carmine bee-eater (Merops nubicus). The latter you will see enjoy one of his favourite dishes in this video. But pay attention, because after a brief shot of the outdoor pen of the okapi and zooming in on the bee-eater, the bee-eating starts and finishes in a few seconds.
