[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
About 25 species of brightly coloured birds of the family Meropidea. Found throughout tropical and subtropical Eurasia, Africa, and Australasia, bee-eaters range in length from 15 to 35 cm (6 to 14 inches).
The bee-eater's bill is moderately long, slightly downcurved, and sharply pointed. Brilliant plumage is characteristic; green predominates, but many species are partially coloured with red, yellow, blue, or purple. Many have elongated central tail feathers. Bee-eaters feed on bees, wasps, and other insects.

What glorious looking birds Tom. Their colours are magnificent and they look wonderful against the nice blue background. The quality of the image is fabulous.
Cheers,

Very nice shot of these colorful birds Tom.
Wonderful to see them both looking in a different direction.
The birds do stand out beautifully against the blue of the sky.
I personally would have cloned out the out of focus branch left side because it distracts a little imho, but that's just me ofcourse :)
Very well done. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards, Harry

Très jolie composition, et les couleurs sont bien soutenues.

Par contre, la netteté me semble un poil faible.

Bravo.
