Little Green Bee-eater (Merops orientalis)

Yotvata, Israel.

For me this photo is bitter sweet. Taken at the famous and once glorious Yotvata 'Arabian Warbler' site, which has essentially been totally destroyed in the past 20 years since my last visit. The acacia scrub is less than a shadow of it's former self seemingly due to the expansion of the date palm plantations and thoughtless discarding of rubbish. Heart breaking to see it in such a mess.
