Blue-tailed bee-eaters are known for their acrobatic flight and vibrant colors.
i do see them catching and eating bees. They are aslo very noisy.
As always i do try to come closer and photograph. they do get spooke easy. that's why i use my hide and seek mode :) but my normal shooting is i walk and shoot. bec. it's easier for me and i get more chances to find other birds. result is 50/50. some good and bad photos. i used d7100 with tamron 150~600 handheld no tripod. it's really heavy maybe more than 5kilos.
