More Blue-tailed Bee-eaters in flight.

Today, after a small lie-in I left my accommodation after 7.30 to go out to the beach area where I had so successfully photographed Bee-eaters flying from and landing on, their perches doing what bee-eaters do best, catch bees in flight!! The light was better today, bright sun and not over-cast so if the birds were there then i would be able to improve my shots from the other day and so it proved with many, many action shots, some absolutely glorious. On my walk dow the road to the beach I have to walk past the gardens of a nearby guest house which is always full of intriguing bird sounds and this morning in one tree, I saw and photographed a Sri-Lankan Paradise Flycatcher….what a bird and also my best ever shots of a Brown Barbet so even before I had managed to get my eyes working properly I had seen two cracking species and thats not to mention the Indian magpie Robin pair that have a nest in the garden somewhere I think as I have seen them every time that I have walked past. Photos of all today's action to follow shortly.
