A Blue Tailed Bee Eater on the banks of a lake

A locally migratory Bee-Eater species and one of the bigger bee-eaters we have in the country. These are resident birds in the country, but locally migratory with movements aligned to availability of water. They usually are seen during the end of rainy season and onset of winter in our region near and around the edges of water bodies.

 

They are sighted on the greenery surrounding the lakes, perched on the bushes and trees nearby. This summer, we have some unusually heavy rains and due to that, we are still seeing them here and there. Though the numbers are quite less, sightings are regular - the lakes are full again and that maybe the reason.

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
