EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant beauty of a European bee-eater in action. Perched on a branch, this colorful bird showcases its brightly colored feathers while indulging in its favorite meal - a bee. The European bee-eater, scientifically known as Merops apiaster, is native to southern Europe and can also be found in parts of northern Africa and western Asia. Known for its migratory habits, this species spends winters in tropical Africa, northwestern and southern India, as well as Sri Lanka. Its diet mainly consists of insects such as bees, wasps, and hornets. In this stunning image taken in Hungary, we witness the intricate relationship between predator and prey within the realm of nature. The photograph beautifully captures the moment when the European bee-eater skillfully catches its buzzing target mid-air. With precision and grace, it demonstrates its expertise as an insectivore while perching confidently on a branch against a picturesque backdrop. This image not only highlights the remarkable diversity of wildlife found across Europe but also serves as a testament to the wonders of ornithology and zoology. Through photography like this one by DR P.
