A Blue-throated Bee-Eater (Merops viridis) spotted at Bidadari Park, Singapore on 25 Dec 2024. Bee-Eaters have a distinctive profile when in-flight, gracefully swooping to grab their meals while flying.

Happy to spot several Blue-throated Bee-Eaters (Merops viridis) perched on a tree and hunting for food near my workplace this morning in Singapore. Saw them taking off to acrobatically grab insects in mid-air.
