    Default Green Bee Eater

    I have shifted house this month.
    The shift is from Flat#204 to Flat#203, on the same floor.
    The east side has lot of trees and I have started seeing birds..the winter has started here.

    Saw this GBE this morning. I've let the cob web stay.

    I love, love, love the delicate look and simple design of this image, the soft greys, and the soft greens. Is the bird a Green Bee-ater?

    Beautiful image I love the way the breast feathers partly cover the perch and the lovely almost pastel colours.

    Hi Prabir, lovely, soft, muted colours on this, killer BKG IMHO, just wished to see it bigger, to appreciate it.

    Very nice image. Agree on the beautiful greens and greys. Not too sure about the bright back over the darker chest chin area but its a pleasing image overall.
