Green Bee eater

This Green Bee-eater, is the resident bird of our yard. It is a pleasure watching him catch insects mid air.

This is a full colour photograph, but the background and the foreground elements were such that they were in shades of grey, giving this image a unique look.

All the photographs were taken during different dates between February and April of this year.

Recently he found a mate and they started digging, probably to start building a nest ( It took me some time to realise that). The hole in the photograph was made by me, some days ago, when I used some soil for potting. They have now borrowed in that hole made it bigger and are clearing the soil around it.
