European Bee-eater

The European Bee-eater is a skilful hunter, catching insects in flight. These are mainly wasps, bees, hornets, as well as dragonflies in the Camargue. It is the size of a thrush. Its colors with metallic reflections are composed of the turquoise blue-green of the belly, the chest and the bottom of the wings, brown-red on the back, the crown and the top of the wings, dark green of the tail, black of the slightly curved beak and as if extended by a line of equally black feathers, red iris in a black eye, yellow bordered with black for the bib.
