Field Notes

Description:

A bee-eater properly doing its job by 'eating bees' lol! Nevertheless the poor quality of the pics due to my not powerful enough lens, this is a beautiful display that explains the name of its origins.

Habitat:

Beddagana Wetland park

Notes:

Migratory; a regular winter visitor of SL.
