Zwei leuchtend gefärbte Bienenfresser sind in einer dynamischen Szene zu sehen. Der vordere Vogel hat gerade auf einem dünnen Zweig Platz genommen, während der zweite mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln darüber schwebt. Das Sonnenlicht lässt ihr farbenfrohes Gefieder in Grün-, Gelb-, Blau- und Rosttönen intensiv leuchten. Der klare blaue Himmel und das sanft verschwommene Grün im Vordergrund verleihen dem Bild eine lebendige, sommerliche Atmosphäre.

Two vibrantly colored bee-eaters are captured in a lively moment. The bird in front perches delicately on a thin branch, while the second hovers above with its wings spread wide. Sunlight enhances the vivid greens, yellows, blues, and rusty tones of their plumage. The clear blue sky and softly blurred greenery in the foreground create a bright, summery atmosphere full of life.

European Bee-eaters are migratory, and Austria is one of the places they come to when they breed. During courtship, the male feeds the larger insects from his catches to the female while eating the small ones himself.

It's been a while since I took my 400mm out for a spin. I finally gave it to Nikon to get it cleaned and serviced yesterday. Can't wait to take pictures with a non-moldy lens haha!

🌍 European bee-eater (Merops apiaster)

The European bee-eater is a richly coloured, slender bird, about 27-29 cm long, with a black beak, brown and yellow upperparts, and green wings. Sexes are similar, though females may have greener shoulders.

They breed in southern and central Europe, northern and southern Africa, and western Asia, preferring open country near sandy banks for nesting. Most populations are migratory, wintering in tropical Africa, but a resident population exists in southern Africa.

Highly gregarious, European bee-eaters nest colonially in self-dug tunnels in sandy banks. They feed and roost communally, often catching insects, especially bees, wasps, and hornets, in flight. Before consumption, they remove the sting by striking the insect against a hard surface. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

The European bee-eaters are back in the skies! These beautiful birds have already arrived, adding bursts of colour and sound to our landscape as they hunt insects mid-air and raise their youngs in sandy riverbanks. A beautiful sign of the season’s turn—and a reminder of the richness of our biodiversity.

Two vividly coloured European bee-eaters (Merops apiaster) perched on a bare, lichen-covered branch. One bird is mid-flight with wings fully spread, approaching the other, which is calmly perched and facing the incoming bird. The background is a pale, cloudy sky, giving focus to the birds' striking plumage in shades of turquoise, yellow, chestnut, and black. Photo was taken at Bubulcus & Bolotas by the guest Ane van Rees.

🌏 Rainbow bee-eater (Merops ornatus)

The rainbow bee-eater is a strikingly colourful bird, predominantly green with a yellow throat, black eye-stripe, chestnut nape, and a blue rump. Adult males possess elongated central tail feathers. It's widely distributed across Australia, migrating north from southern regions during winter, and also found in eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and some Pacific islands. These highly social birds are typically seen in small flocks. They hawk insects, especially bees and wasps, on the wing from an exposed perch, and nest colonially in burrows dug into sandy banks or flat ground.

It’s definitely European Bee-eater time here in The #Straits now as we are among the peak of their #Spring #migration

It’s impossible not to notice them noisily navigating the divide here between Africa and Europe and they are seemingly everywhere ! 😊

Happy to spot several Blue-throated Bee-Eaters (Merops viridis) perched on a tree and hunting for food near my workplace this morning in Singapore. Saw them taking off to acrobatically grab insects in mid-air.
