Looking a bit like it has a big moustache, this Little bee-eater brings a dragonfly to his perch to eat. Little bee-eaters tend to hunt from and return to the same branch after successfully catching insect prey. None-the-less they are very fast and hard to capture. All bee-eaters make nests by burrowing into the earth, often along banks of the river. Amazingly, their feathers stay very clean and colorful.
