Beautiful Birds Around The World - Part #8

#### Hey everyone!

#### This is part #8 of my bird photo series.

#### I took these photos during our trip around the world in 2014.

#### I have lots of bird photos, so I'm gonna split them up into several posts!

#### I can't remember exactly where all the photos were taken, and I'm not sure if I named all the birds correctly. 

#### Please, feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes!

#### Do we have any eager birdwatchers here?

#### Which bird in these photos is your favorite?

#### My own favorite is the Chestnut-headed bee-eater, in the fourth photo. Just because they are so beautiful and colorful.

#### Did you know? 
#### - The chestnut-headed bee-eater species can be found in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Cambodia, south China, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia and Vietnam etc.
#### - They are 20 cm in length and weighing 20 to 30 grams. 
#### - The bird performs flycatching from top of bushes, bare branch or fences and wires. They may also hunt in groups by wheeling flight, and catching insect after insect without returning to the perch.  
#### - The diet is mostly flying insects like honeybees, wasps, moths, winged termites, ants, crickets, dragonflies, butterflies, locust and grasshoppers.
#### - Nesting sites are normally sandy banks. Both of the pair dig a long tunnel with their beaks and remove the sand with their feet.
#### - Both the parents incubate eggs and care for the young ones.
