From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White-fronted Bee-eater (Merops bullockoides) is a species of bee-eater widely distributed in sub-equatorial Africa. They have a distinctive white forehead, a square tail and a bright red patch on their throat. As the name suggests, their diet consists primarily of bees and other flying insects. They nest in colonies averaging 200 individuals, digging roosting and nesting holes in cliffs or banks of earth, and have a complex social structure.Photo: Luc Viatour
