Species: Blue Throated Bee Eater | Location: Danum Valley, Malaysia
We were sitting outside our room, overlooking a field in Danum Valley, Borneo. About ten blue-throated bee eaters were constantly flying back and forth, between the field and surrounding vegetation. Each bird would bring back an insect such as this red dragonfly. The bee eaters would perch on a dead branch about five feet off the ground, before then going down into their underground nests. They would then reappear shortly thereafter, to go off in search of the next meal.
About The Photographer
I am an amateur photographer who has been taking pictures for approximately 50 years. The availability of more time for photography after our children left the nest combined with the arrival of digital photography and the technologic advantages it offered has allowed me to go further with my efforts. Combine that with Nathab travel to exotic places with different wildlife: what an opportunity I have had!Vote for this photo, and you’ll be entered for the chance to win a $500 Visa Gift Card or a $500 WWF Donation!
