European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster)

The European bee-eater or bee-eater (Merops Merops) is a bird of the order of Coraciiformes and Meropidae family. It is found in almost all Eurasia and North Africa. In my land of Navarra (Northern Spain) it is common to observe them from spring to late summer. Their sound is very unique and one immediately knows of their presence. They give color and special beauty to areas in which they choose to nest. There is a special place in the desert of the Royal Bardenas of Navarra.
