Birds Rainbow Bee-eaters

[Ralph]

These fly down from the north and breed down my way and other area.
Their nest is a burrow about a meter from the opening to the den area.
And its quite good to see this bird coming from underground and not from a tree.
But all this said theu have got a great colour and one thing I have picked up is when
they glide they look just like the paper plane we made as kids.

It's all very well you showing off with your exotic birds but they are only there to eat your bloody big spiders!! Nice shots though!
