European bee-eater (Merops apiaster) in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
Taken with the AF-S NIKKOR 180-400 mm 1:4G ED VR II, I had the opportunity to test for several days. A great lens, but way too heavy for my damaged shoulder :cry:. What a pity ...

Yes, @Callie, I like these colorful birds very much. There are not many places in Germany so far, where you have the opportunity to watch them. Global warming will probably increase the chances ....
They are summer visitors here in SA. Seen them often but still looking for the full adult plumage in action
