Bird Photography - Green Bee Eater from Yala National Park, Sri Lanka

Yala National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in South East Sri Lanka, like most of the Indian forests is a great place to spot the bee eater species of birds. I had a great time spotting this green bee eater and many other birds including others of the same species.

  4. Nice shots and what is interesting for me is that it looks almost the same as the bird I photographed in Central Australia in July 2003. Using the name of your bird as a lead, I was able to establish by searching on the Internet that mine is the Rainbow Bee-eater.
