Blue-headed Bee-eater (Merops muelleri)

Kakamega, Kenya

This is a solitary forest canopy bee-eater which sits high up on a perch from where it ambushes passing butterflies and bees. It can be difficult to appreciate the colours of this bird from below: bright blue head, blue belly and a cheeky wee red beard!
