Green bee eater eating a bee

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

Last year in Feb in Sultanpur, came upon a pair of green bee eaters (mother and juvenile). After following them for an hour and half was rewarded to see the mother catch a honey bee. She bashed the bee against the branch to take out the sting and then swallowed it in a neat toss!

Nice image. Lovely details and eye contact. Colours look natural. I like its inclined perch more because of its long tail forming X setting. When we follow its flight in the open only then we could see the bee! Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice catch-light and eye contact. The catch is a bonus. The curved branches look nice. Placing it slightly more to the right, for an off-centered composition would be nice. Thanks for sharing.

I think some more space at the bottom to show the two branches joined would be good.
