I was jogging around my housing area at 6.40pm when a large flock of Bee-Eater came and feed on insect over head. This phenomenon has been going on at around 6.30 to 7.00pm for the past 2 weeks.As I made a final round at 7.00pm, I noticed the birds descended onto a small tree (Rhodamnia sp.) inside the Telecom Store compound near the JPJ Building. Oh!.. What a great sight!.
I ran toward my house, assembled the camera with flash. Quickly drove toward the site. The guardsman was not in, luckily the gate was not locked. So, I sneak in and fired a few shoots.
Later the 'Jaga' came and told me that this bird have been roosting there for a few night.
Here are a few record shots. Difficult to focus on that poor evening light.
