Shades of green

Green bee eater is a beautifully coloured slender bird. It has one elongated tail that adds further beauty to it. It is also a photographer’s delight who capture them in frames.

I like this bird for its colour and often see them in flocks of two and three. During the monsoon season, you simply cannot miss them, when insects, wasps and dragonflies are dominant.

These birds have been my subjects for painting for a long time. Here is an oil painting on canvas board.
