Bohm's Bee-eater

Description

The Bohm's bee-eater occupies two small areas of south-central Africa, one stretching from western Tanzania to Zambia and the other stretching from eastern Tanzania to Malawi, barely touching northern Mozambique, which is the only southern African area it occupies. It generally prefers open woodland, but it can also be found in riparian forest and miombo (Brachystegia) woodland.
