Description
this is the common Bee-eater.in its beak you can see a butterfly which he's showing off while waiting for his "girlfriend" to pick it up.
I love these birds since they are so colorful and the black stripe on their eye makes them look more misitirous
the blue background is the sea
shot with sigma 120-300 F/2.8 and X1.4 teleconverter @ 420mm F/9 and 1/1250 ISO400

Great shot. The butterfly in this one is priceless. I like the red eye too. It offsets the color just right.
