About 4 of them were spotted flying around the field here for a few weeks.

The photographers poke a few tree branches in the open field and it attrached the bee eaters to stand on these branches.

Thanks to these birders. Otherwise, I will not be able to capture these exceptional clear shots on bee eaters. They usually perched very high.

Though perched very high up the tree, it was fun watching them doing aerial flight and caching different insects.

Usually, they travel in a pair - the first time I spotted them, I was only attracted by their colours. Not knowing that they are migrants and later realised that  it is not easy to spot them.
