Little Green Bee-eater (Merops orientalis)

It has a large distribution from west coasts of Africa to East, Nile Valley, many parts of middle east, and South Asia towards Indian Subcontinent and Southeast asia.

As a result of this eight subspecies currently recognized. The jizz is almost the same but the colors may vary. In this ssp.cyanophrys, where it occur in South Israel, and West & South Arabian coasts, it has a blue throat and bluish chest.

This one might occur in Turkey and the most exciting for me :) The northernmost distribituon is 200 km away from southermost part of Turkey. Who knows, they can fly? ;)

Hallo Emin
I love the bright, natural colours that is so beautifully portrayed in this scenery. This image would make a wonderful cover on a Birthday card, and it will even look beautiful in an all blown up poster on a wall. The whole setting is just so gorgeous to look at. The composition and point of view is super. Best regards and thanks for sharing.

Hello Emin,
What an attractive presentation. Bee-eaters are always a thrill to view and you've captured this one in a nice relaxed pose. It even fluffed it's head feathers a bit just for you. Gorgeous vivid yet natural colors and outstanding detail. You should be proud of this shot!!

Ps. I agree with Anna....this would make a great cover for a card or poster.
