One of the most beautiful and colorful birds we have natively in Germany. They are quite rare, but coming further north each year. They benefit from global warming. They hunt big insects like butterflies, hornets, dragonflies, bumblebees, and so on in-flight to make their living. They start quite late in their breeding season and leave quite early in mid-August. End of May they were still mating and not yet breeding.
Take care!

Sehr schönes Bienenfresserbild, in seiner Gesamtheit ist es für mich hochkonzentrierter Sommer überhaupt.
Danke schön. Sie kommen halt erst, wenn es richtig warm ist und strahlen durch ihre Farben Wärme aus
