Beeaters

small beeaters, named little beeaters

Aptly named Little Bee-eaters are the smallest in the species. Found all over Africa, bee-eaters are all different sizes and colours. One of the theories about their bright plumage is that they are as colourful as flowers so that insects, their food source, is attracted to them. Definitely puts a new dimension on the term ‘carnivorous plants’!
