The European bee-eater is a small colourful bird found in Europe and Africa, about the size of a blackbird. You will regularly find it sitting on a branch in the sun. You can tell from the feathers on this bird's head that it was a bit windy at the time the photo was taken. The bee-eater's feathers have beautiful colours. The head and neck are chestnut brown and its back is golden brown. The wings and tail are blue-green. The turquoise breast and yellow chin are also very striking. But most striking is the black stripe that runs from its beak through its eye to the back of its head, giving it the appearance of a bandit. A bee-eater also has another ruby-red iris. You would almost call it a rainbow bird,
The brown background is due to the dry South African soil because that is where this picture was taken A digital graphic was applied to give the artwork something extra.
