Flüelapass, Engadin 2023

Rainbow bee-eaters are always watching for flying insects, and can spot a potential meal up to 45 metres away. Once it spots an insect a bee-eater will swoop down from its perch and catch it in its long, slender, black bill and fly back to its perch. Bee-eaters will then knock their prey against their perch to eat it.

Even though rainbow bee-eaters are actually immune to the stings of bees and wasps, upon capturing a bee they will rub the insect's stinger against their perch to remove it, closing their eyes to avoid being squirted with poison from the ruptured poison sac.

I had to take some altitude (1041 meters) to find some interesting light as most of the valley was lost in the mist. When the sun burst, the light revealed these intense autumnal tones and brighten up my foggy day. These kind of weather conditions during Fall are definitely awesome for Photography.

This wide angle view of the Tamar River at Swan Bay is interesting for the layers of different grasses in the wetlands. In the foreground we see an area of flattened grasses which I detail in the next photo.
