[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As I promised in my former post here is another bee eater seating on a banch with bee in its mouth.
It is emazing, the Bee eater is almost always with bees in its mouth, the bird justifies its name :)

Here in this picture I caught it on a 'naked' branch, this is another habit of this bird, to seat on naked branches or wires, this is very good for photographing this birs.
Unfortunaly the light was not very good in this picture, but the bird's colours are well seen, hope you will like it.

Full description you can find in my former post European Bee-eater.

Super capture of a stunning bird, love the bee in its mouth as it gives the image that something extra. Well done!

Nice post Elroyie. This is a very good composition, bee on the beak proofs why it's called bee-eater.
Very sharp image with beautiful colors.
Well done.

Superb picture Elroyie, you caught it at just the right moment. Colours are gorgeous, your exposure must be spot-on. The image shows great detail and sharpness. Your DOF spotlights the bird and your composition works really well. Fantastic, thank you for posting it for us :)

What a fantastic celebration of colour in nature - absolutely perfect. Very good colours, details and composition. The exposure and background are also very good.
Great work.

This is very nice Elroyie, the colours of the Bee eater are stunning. Great composition and the fact that hes having a meal is a real bonus. Top shot.

What a great capture Elroyie.
Love the colours of this bird and the little red eye is quite amazing, well detailed and the bee in its beak finishes the shot off.
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely subject Elroyie. Nice to see that it has caught a meal. I would have cropped it a bit more to give more empasis on the bird, but that is just a personal assessement. Nice work. Thanks

The light looks great to me. You have done an exceptional job to capture the bee eater with a bee. I thinks the composition is very good and sharpness is quite good too. Well done.
