After a long dry season here in Lagos Nigeria it rained for two days, today the sun shine and the Bee-eaters are back in our compound.

Hi Burr thank you, they don't get intimidated so easily and its fun watching them fly around in less than 10 meters. They are pair I waited for them to perch side by side but didnt grant me that opportunity.

Bee-eaters are such colorful birds. That's why I like them so much. It's nice to see other kinds aside from the ones that can be found here in the Philippines. Thank you for sharing these photos Lawrence.

It is nice to see another kind of Bee-eater. The color breasted bird makes it easier to photograph than the white breasted one. I noticed that the two long tail feathers have not yet developed. Well done Lawrence & Mabuhay.
