Bee-eaters, Chelopechene, Sofia 🇧🇬
Who doesn’t love these beauties at point blank range? Feeding over a stubble field as I attempted to access some fish ponds. 😊 #birdingbulgaria #birds

Syrian woodpecker studies, Dabnika Reservoir, Vratsa, Bulgaria 🇧🇬. Pair together at dawn this morning. My first decent views, after only hearing one in Jordan in October. #birdingbulgaria #birds

Building Gecko Lodge BG continued.
This time we could get the hardware near to the foundations, so no mixing by hand, it was to be a very stressful experience!!!!!

European bee eater, a brightly coloured bird with rustic red head and yellow orange back, bright blue breast and green flashes to its wings. It is a member of the kingfisher family and gets its name from its diet of insects.
