White-fronted_Bee-eater2

The white-fronted bee-eater is a species of bee-eater widely distributed in sub-equatorial Africa. The species has a distinctive white forehead, a square tail, and a bright red patch on its throat. It nests in small colonies, digging holes in cliffs or earthen banks, and can usually be seen in low trees, waiting to hunt passing insects by making quick hawking flights or gliding down before hovering briefly to catch the prey.
