The Rosy Bee-eater is a spectacular and nomadic species found in West and Central Africa. It is unique among bee-eaters for its predominantly rosy-pink plumage contrasting with a black mask and yellowish flight feathers.
Where to spot
Found across a broad band of West and Central Africa, from Senegal to Democratic Republic of Congo. Inhabits open savannas, grasslands, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for large flocks, sometimes numbering thousands, perching on trees, bushes, or wires. Their rosy plumage is unmistakable, especially in flight. Listen for their continuous, high-pitched chirping calls as they forage.
When to spot
Movements are largely seasonal and dependent on insect availability. Can be observed throughout the year in different parts of its range. Most active during the day.

These bee-eaters are highly nomadic, following swarms of locusts and other large insects, making their movements unpredictable and sometimes covering vast distances.
