the southern carmine bee-eater is a colorful member of the bee-eater family endemic to sub-equatorial africa. they can be differentiated from the similar northern carmine bee-eater by their lack of a blue throat. as their name suggest, they primarily feed on flying insects with a preference for bees. they typically feed by swooping from a perch to catch an insect in flight. they are attracted to the insects displaced into the air during wildfires, and can be found actively feeding around fires.

Not to be a basic bitch but The lion king is probably my favorite Disney movie, and I tried to imitate TLK style while drawing some african animals not depicted there (In the original film: Some of these species might show up in the spinoffs, no idea)  I felt that I didn’t have to adjust my style that much, so either my regular style is fairly close to TLK or i’m just not very good at style imitation

So, I'm just cleaning up my art folder now... I hope you like seeing the old stuff I pull from there lol. I think this is one of the first animations I tried? Or at least one where I tried a more simple scheme. It worked cause it's shit simple but I do think it's cute. Also the file is literally called "super cool bee-eater" so it has that going for it.

#animations #animation #little bee-eater #bee-eater #Merops pusillus #Merops #bird #there's some better stuff coming soon promise! #I still have the big Salmon poster to upload #just felt a bit weird to PLONK it down here after being quiet for so long #but that's up next #I also have a really cool steam engine painting to upload which I am soooo proud of #HOWEVER #it is a Russian steam loco and even though that's not the loco's fault I kind of fear people's responses #and fear that would ruin the actual artwork enjoyment #at the same time I feel silly for even worrying about this

May 1, 2022 - Böhm's Bee-eater (Merops boehmi)

These bee-eaters are found in parts of Malawi, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Zambia in woodlands and the edges of forests, mostly near streams and rivers. Foraging in pairs or small flocks, they eat insects, including bees, beetles, grasshoppers, cicadas, and flies, capturing their prey in the air. Pairs dig nest burrows in the ground near paths or clearings.

BOTD: Olive Bee-Eater

^Image credit: Alextelford, Wikipedia

Olive Bee-Eater (Merops superciliosus) 

The specific scientific name 'Superciliosus' means 'supercilious', 'haughty', or 'eye-browed'. They are partially migratory, only breeding in the southern parts of their range, which is the southern half of Africa. It has a wide range, and is rather common, so its status is listed by the IUCN as Least Concern.

From this post forward my image credits will be more detailed, providing a link to the original image. While this will be less aesthetically pleasing, it will be more beneficial to the original photographers and provide more appropriate credit.

08/07/2023-Bee-eaters and more at Trimingham

Photos taken in this set: 1. View from the RSPB Bee-eater viewpoint at the quarry over the Norfolk countryside. 2, 5, 6, 7 and 10. The vibrant, positively loudly multi-coloured and gorgeous Bee-eaters both brightening up the wires they were sat on and in the thickly vegetated evening primrose adorned quarry which they flew down into. It was such an honour to see these sensational birds for a second year. I really loved watching them and taking time to appreciate them, joyous viewing. 3. St. John's-wort which looked lovely. 4. Tree lupin which caught my eye. 8. The quirky sight of the familiar Woodpigeon beside the exotic newcomers, the Bee-eaters. 9. A lovely Linnet, I really enjoyed seeing a few of them at the quarry.

It was great to see such a nice list of other stuff there including Kestrel, Goldfinches, Whitethroat seen well, Red Admiral, kidney vetch and a Buzzard soaring over the fields. Red Kite, I seem to recall Kestrel and viper's-bugloss and other flowers were nice to see on the journey from home to here.
