Bee-eater - Merops apiaster Copyright JohnBayley@Cretanvista |
Gregarious, thrush-sized birds with bright plumage, though this is best seen when perched and not when they are chasing (and catching) flying insects in the air! They have a characteristic 'Cherp' call which can be confused with Black-headed gulls hunting insects at high altitude. |
