hello Jose
very good sharpness and good details 'the colours are beautiful
thanks greeting lou

Hello Jose,
An excellent capture with fine colors, details & pose. Well composed & presented with a great POV. The debris is clearly seen & interesting to know this fact. They mainly eat bees, but they also eat other insects when bees are scarce. Great work & TFS.

Bonjour Jose,
Un document vraiment intéressant. Tu as cliqué au bon moment (mais peut-être pas le plus appetissant). Un oiseau que je n'ai encore jamais vu, mais il semble s'installer aussi chez nous avec le réchauffement climatique.
Meilleures salutations

Hola Jose,

Hello Jose

Excellent close-up photo of the European Bee-eater
with its prey, in difficult back-light light situation
but with great exposure to obtain details of the plumage, TFS
