Merops orientalis (Asian green bee-eater) in our frangipani tree 🦜

found everywhere from coastal Iran to the Indian subcontinent and as far east as Viet Nam; in the Himalayas, they can be found as high up as 2,000m!

fun fact: members of the bee-eater family (31 species' worth) nest in tunnelled burrows in sandy banks ⛱️
