The Bee-eaters of South-East Asia and Australia

These magificent birds have been life-long favourites of mine. I admire them for their flight skills, which rather reminds me of fighter aeroplanes, and their beautiful colouring. They all hawk insects on the fly and if you look at the Blue-tailed Bee-eater images closely, you will see one perched next to a wasps' nest and actually have a wasp on its tail. It will not regard any of that as food. This collection represents all the Bee-eaters found in Australia (Rainbow only) and South-east Asia (all others), except one, the Red-bearded Bee-eater, which I have not yet found.
