The European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster) is a strikingly colorful bird found across Europe, parts of Asia, and Africa. Characterized by its vivid plumage, it features a yellow throat, blue underparts, and a chestnut crown and back. This migratory species is known for its acrobatic flight and skill in catching insects, particularly bees and wasps, mid-air. Bee-eaters often inhabit open landscapes, such as savannas and agricultural areas, nesting in colonies within sandy banks or flat ground. Their social behavior, complex vocalizations, and vibrant appearance make them a fascinating subject for avian studies. |
