The blue-tailed bee-eater (Merops philippinus) is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family Meropidae. It is widely distributed across South and Southeast Asia where many populations are strongly migratory, and seen seasonally in many parts but breeding colonially in small areas across their range, mostly in river valleys, where the nest by tunneling into loamy sand banks. They are seen mostly in open habitats close to water. Nice time pickup the photos
The juxtaposition of the Blue-tailed Bee-eater on the barbed wire is outstanding. When I see photography like this, I hear a poem calling out. Wonderful!
Amazing and beautiful photo! Thanks for share.
Have a wonderful time!
