I've never seen one. Beautiful bird. The carving looks as though it is poised to fly away.
Well done.

Hi Mark,

Super job. I really like the attention to detail you've paid on this bird. Even down to the moss on the tree. Fantastic!

Mark

Mark,
This post is exactly why I love this forum. I had never heard of a bee eater before just now. I continually get educated about all kinds of things while at the same time get to see beautiful carvings like this one. Thnaks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
