blue-throated bee-eater

this is one of the 2 bee eater species found in sg. They breed here from march to jul and then migrate a short distance to Indonesia during which they'll be displaced by the blue-tailed bee-eater. The latter however do not breed here.

Seen here upon its return to its nest nearby.

The branch they perched on is deliberately put up by photographers. Surprisingly, they loved it and used it as their regular vantage stop-over for its nest located in a nearby sand dune.
