Bee-eaters (family Meropidae). Most of the birds in this family are found in Africa,southern Europe,Australia and New Guinea. As their name suggests,they predominantly feed on flying insects,especially bees and wasps. A bee-eater removes the sting from the bee by hitting it on a hard surface,where the pressure of the impact extracts most of the venom from the sting. Photographed in Italy in spring | |
