A Blue-throated Bee-Eater (Merops viridis) spotted at Bidadari Park, Singapore on 16 Sept 2025. It was swooping through the air and returning to this perch.

Since I’ve been living in Spain it’s been a real challenge to capture the beautiful #beeeaters in flight

They move SO quick

Converted these colour frames 2 Black & White & solarized them

I think it shows the beauty of their plumage better?

Auf dem Weg zu den Bienenfressern meinte jemand, dass die meisten wohl schon weg wären. Hab da noch nie so viele gesehen wie heute 😁 Aber sie sammeln sich so langsam für den Rückflug

🌍 European bee-eater (Merops apiaster) 

The European bee-eater is a richly coloured, slender bird, about 27-29 cm long, with a black beak, brown and yellow upperparts, and green wings. Sexes are similar, though females may have greener shoulders.

They breed in southern and central Europe, northern and southern Africa, and western Asia, preferring open country near sandy banks for nesting. Most populations are migratory, wintering in tropical Africa, but a resident population exists in southern Africa.

Highly gregarious, European bee-eaters nest colonially in self-dug tunnels in sandy banks. They feed and roost communally, often catching insects, especially bees, wasps, and hornets, in flight. Before consumption, they remove the sting by striking the insect against a hard surface. 2.5 Flash (Edited) 

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Three vividly colored chestnut-headed bee-eaters sit close together on a tree branch. Their feathers are a vibrant mix of green, yellow, chestnut, and blue. Two of the birds appear to be engaging in mutual preening or feeding, while the third looks on, all against a softly blurred green background.

A little bird gossip on a sunny perch! 🐦☀️ These chestnut-headed bee-eaters show that even the wildest wings enjoy a close conversation.

🌏 Rainbow bee-eater (Merops ornatus) 

The rainbow bee-eater is a strikingly colourful bird, predominantly green with a yellow throat, black eye-stripe, chestnut nape, and a blue rump. Adult males possess elongated central tail feathers. It's widely distributed across Australia, migrating north from southern regions during winter, and also found in eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and some Pacific islands. These highly social birds are typically seen in small flocks. They hawk insects, especially bees and wasps, on the wing from an exposed perch, and nest colonially in burrows dug into sandy banks or flat ground.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

A bird tries to steal food from another in a colourful display and battle. The European bee-eaters were perched on a branch and photographed from a hide on a horse farm in Csongrád, southern Hungary.
