Mimicry

Recently I posted about a very elegant bird I discovered in my surroundings. Today, I realised why I had never seen it before. Its colourings are so close to those of the grass; leaves; and branches, that unless you see it landing, you'll never notice it.


This  White-throated Bee-eater / Merops albicollis / Guêpier à gorge blanche is indeed another wonder for my already substantial collection.
