The hunt of a bee-eater #03/06/2017

Today I did not have luck with the kestrels. I don't know what is happened, but the adult didn't go in the nest while I was present. In the next days I'll check with the binoculars the situation.
After I went to see a Merops apiaster colony near Alghero. This little bird, very colorful, come to Italy to nest every year from Africa giving us the opportunity to admire this splendor of nature. This year I'm delay to observe the bee eaters because I was engaged for the kestrels, so I'll try next year. Today I can only taken a photo-sequence while a bee eater was playing with some food, a butterfly...

 
And I hope to take some new photo next time.
