Green Bee-eater at Wilpaththu park, Sri Lanka

For years I have been jealous of people in several parts of the world having access to colorful bee-eaters. During our trip through Sri Lanka, we finally got our share of them. They are everywhere, and far from shy.

The Green Bee-Eater

The Asian green bee-eater is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family. It is resident but prone to seasonal movements and is found widely distributed across Asia from coastal southern Iran east through the Indian subcontinent to Vietnam. Populations in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula that were formerly assigned to this species are now considered distinct species.
