The Starry Starry Night over the Karoo shone more brightly this week. We felt as if every eye in every dorp could see what the James Webb Telescope had seen; had shown us. Not only the eyes of the rich and pampered or the educated and privileged. Every eye. We even got the pots out to celebrate.

Bee-eaters are identified by their bright colours. They catch their prey in mid-air at up to 48 km/h. Bee-eaters are insectivores, feeding on insects. Males and females look similar. Most of the Bee-eater species are monogamous, meaning they mate for life unless one dies, in which case they will select another mate. Bee-eaters assist each other during breeding, and co-caring for the nestlings. They recognize each other, from parents to siblings and even nesting neighbours.
