Merops ornatus

Merops ornatus (Rainbow Bee-Eater)

IUCN Status: Least Concern.

Chooks. That's what Aussie birders call a common species apparently. Yet while these are common birds, it's amazing how many people (Icluding me until a few years ago) are oblivious to them. As I say to folks often, we need to stop and appreciate the beauty in the familiar and common as much as the exotic
