Olive Bee-eater: Merops superciliosus
Population figures for Namibia are poorly known, but have been estimated at 3,000 to 5,000 birds. Densities of 9.2 bee-eaters per 10 km of the lower Kunene River, with records from about 75% of the 344 km-long river, give an estimate for the Kunene River of only about 250 birds. There are 16 breeding records for Namibia, including from the Huab River, with egg-laying from September to January.
