European Bee-eater
Merops apiaster
The European Bee-eater adult male combines a chestnut crown and upper back, golden-yellow lower back, and turquoise-blue underparts in a slender, long-winged form. Its wings mix greenish blue with chestnut panels, while the blue-green tail has two elongated central feathers and the breast is largely unmarked. A bright yellow throat patch is sharply separated from the blue breast by a narrow black band.
