Blue Bearded Birding!

The Green bee-eater (Merops orientalis) is a tiny bird that preys regularly on flying insects including bees, dragonflies, flying ants, etc., which are mostly caught in the air.

 

Though a tiny bird, check out its color combinations...

"Grey" beak, which leads into...

"Black" mask around the eyes.

"Orange" on top of the head.

"Blue" beard below the beak and eyes.

"Green" body all over, giving its name.

"Red" eyes, as though it is bloodshot!
