Soweit ich weiß, leben sie in offenem Gelände und lauern auf einem 'Ansitz' Insekten auf, die sie im Fluge erbeuten. Oft bilden Bienen und Wespen die bevorzugte Nahrung.
Bienenfresser leben gesellig und bilden Nistkolonien, die aus Tunneln in sandigen Hängen bestehen.
Eine sehr interessante und auch bunte Vogelart.
Ein tolles Foto...
