[BirdPhotoIndia] Blue-beared Bee-eater

5th June 2011.
Took advantage of my temporary posting in Jorhat for a little birding in the
tea estates neighbouring Kaziranga NP. Although dark and overcast with the
occasional drizzle, the 4 hour session yielded several 'lifers' for me.
These were Great Hornbill, Black Baza, Pied Falconet, Blue-bearded Bee-eater
(photo attached), Lesser Coucal and Slaty-breasted Rail. Also had a good
view of the Green Magpie.

The Blue-naped Pitta, once again, did not deign to make an appearance but we
heard its calls regularly.
