(European) Bee-eater Merops apiaster

Israeli Photographer Avi Hirschfield spent 3-4 Months photographing this series of Bee-Eater's, A total of about 30 couples in an area (wall)maybe 30 meters long and in some places as high as 3 meters and as low as 1 meter.The area is totally unknown as I and a friend where the only one's who photographed there.
The experience of watching them pair of and then mate and after that choose there hole to lay eggs.The collection or variety of flying insects that they eat is amazing and is non stop. Eventually to see the chicks sticking there heads out of the nest,and the parents feeding WOW.
And of course the first flight all of a sudden they open wings and out they go.
