Hi Nasos.i have never seen a BeeEater maybe one day. i like the POV looking up to the bird. You have taken it with good detai land natural colours. I would like to have somw of the blue sky you have in this picture. Well done tFS.
Nick..

Have a nice weekend

It's a beatiful second phto of it Bee-eater!
I think you handled the optics very good way. As in the previous photo, the bird got very good detail. And boasts a perfect color.
But... ˇLook who made you wonder heaven! ... is pure, clean, beautifully blue! The bottom of the sky, is the perfect complement to your excellent composition!

Greetings, thanks for sharing, happy weekend

Hello Nasos !
This beautiful bird again ! I have seen one of them during my holiday, but I couldn't make a single picture, they were so quick to fly away - I admire you so much to be able to get such wonderful pictures of them ! Here I love the pose of the bird - he seems ready to fly away - but also the blue sky in BG and the splendid composition with just the bare branch. It's sunny and cheerful. Very well done !
Valérie.

A superb series, my dear brother Nasos!Now I have moved to the foothills of the Himalayas,,
i love the beautiful pose and the unique POV!
Bravo!

Hi Nasos,

Perhaps someday I will get to see a Bee-eater for myself! A beautiful shot of this one with a most amazing eye, beautiful colors and feathers all with excellent details. He looks ready to take off. I love the diagonal branch, the perfect blue sky and the superb composition.
