Playful Blue-throated Bee-eater

A flock of Blue-throated Bee-eater (Merops viridis) have a fun time at my back yard this evening catching bees

Lovely. Looks like a combination of hummingbird and flycatcher.

My favorite bird. I managed to get shots of them plunging into water like a kingfisher! Maybe to cool off, i don't know. Beautiful bird

They are such quick little thing that they are hard to capture. Lovely action shots.
