European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster) perched on a rusty iron wire grid, viewed from the side. The bird displays a rich chestnut crown and back, bright golden-yellow throat with a narrow black border, and turquoise-blue wing feathers and tail. It has a long, slightly curved black bill and a striking red eye. The background is a smooth, diffused green. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.
