A Blue Tailed Bee Eater Stretching itself

            Another species of the Bee-Eaters which I find very beautiful. These are resident birds in the country, but locally migratory with movements aligned to availability of water. 

When the lakes are full, they do come and perch on the tall trees nearby. This perching behaviour easily differentiates the common green bee eater vs this bird. Additionally they have beautiful blue tail from which they get their name.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
