The little beeeater is endemic to subsaharan Africa and is both common and widespread. It is smaller and paler than the cinnamon-chested beeeater. The juvenile (being fed in slideshow images 7 - 9) lacks the dark necklace of the adult. The image above was made at Lake Eyasi in February 2008 and is courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst; roll your cursor over the enlargement to see another enlargement taken at Ndutu in May 2010.
