RAINBOW BEE-EATER: Merops oranatus
-
Often
heard and seen above the tropical rainforest canopy in Australia.
-
A gorgeous bird of
green, blue, rufous, and cream with black eye streaks and two small tail shafts.
-
They head down south to breed in the summer, and are thus more common in the
tropical north in the dry season.
-
They can be seen on the banks of the upper
Daintree river, and in various open areas often perched on dead trees or wires.
