Mother's care

I was fortunate enough to locate a flock of beautiful blue-tailed bee-eaters, after a search of three days at the banks of the River Damodar where they breed (normally during April-June). It is bliss to visualise the entire act— the blue-tailed bee-eaters catching a prey in flight, killing it and feeding it to its baby. Sometimes, the male tosses the prey in air in order to impress the female. After four long hours of wait, I have freezed this moment when the mother was feeding its baby.
