Summary

[edit]
Description

A beautiful and colorful bee eater that is quite uncommon / rare in our region. The bird is just like the Green Bee Eater in pretty much every way except for the habitat. An insectivorous bird, preferring flying insects like Bees, dragonflies, moths and maybe some type of butterflies. The bird is a migrant within the country and I guess this sighting was due to a migration stopover.

The bird was sighted right in the area where a tiger is often seen in the evenings as per the Forest officer who accompanied us. That made me extremely nervous and I stayed close to my vehicle and did not venture closer to the bird.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
