      On the banks of the Zambezi river in October the day-time temperature often sits around an uncomfortable 40C - 45C.
      The Carmines will then often take a dip in the river to relief the extreme heat and rehydrate them selves.
      This behavior almost looks as if they are confusing them selves with Kingfishers as they dive head first straight into the water.
      A brilliant sight...!
