Blue-throated Bee-eater (Merops viridis)

This is the first time I have seen this bird perched on the dead teak branches in the morning.
Usually a flock of about 20-30 birds perched in the evening, around 6.30-7.00pm. They wait for bees/insects and fly around my backyard. After about 15 minutes they are gone.

Nine birds at the east side of that dead tree branches.
Time 6:38 pm







My best image of this blue-throated bee-eater so far, except that the background is not a perfect blue sky. This photo is not enhanced, just crop and resize with Adobe Photoshop CS2
Now I know the importance of 'mirror lock' (MLU).

This is the edited version.
