Summary

Description

A very common bird in our region seen almost everywhere in the countryside. The birds are quite agile and active even during the hot summers. I am not sure if they have any natural predators apart from raptors - never seen a picture or in real life of a Bee-Eater kill.

This bird landed right next to the road on the fence around 6-8 feet away and didn't seem to care about our presence. I think it is a a subadult by the behavior but the long pointing tail that indicates adulthood confuses me. The birds are always seen in small groups. They are also predictable that they like Shrikes hunt from the same perch and come back to it.

In the right light, the bird's colors were amazing - bright and standing out. It was preening for a while, stretching and relaxing.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
