European Bee-eater

Brief #

Description #

Richly coloured, slender bird. It has brown and yellow upper parts, whilst the wings are green and the beak is black. Female tends to have greener rather than gold feathers on shoulders. Non-breeding plumage is much duller and with a blue-green back and no elongated central tail feathers. Juvenile resembles a non-breeding adult, but with less variation in the feather colours.
