Around and around
Around and around , a photo by ricmcarthur on Flickr. Perching on a sprinkler head gives you a birds eye view of your surroundings. This is a european bee-eater about 12 inches (29 cm) in length. It has incredible colours which a field guide describes as "exotically rich and gaudy plumage colours". Umistakeable with bright yellow throat, bluish underbody, yellowish-white shoulder patches and red-brown crown/back and inner wing-panel above. Give a 4 year old a box of crayons and ask them to colour a bird and this is the type of thing you would probably get. Merops apiaster
