Blue-tailed Bee-eater front view, Wilpaththu, Sri Lanka I hope you're not getting bored by bee-eaters. You have to understand that I live in a part of the world where none occurs at all, so they're a tropical joy for me to photograph. Anyway, this is a blue-tailed bee-eater, although in this position you do not get to see its blue tail :) Asia,Blue-tailed Bee-eater,Merops philippinus,Sri Lanka,Wilpaththu Click/tap to enlarge

    I am right there with you, Ferdy! I don't see anything like this anywhere around here, so they are a treat for me as well. Posted 10 years ago
