European Bee-eater
Merops apiaster

(Above) Al Ruwais, Qatar, 14 April 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

Lovely bird, shame about the perch. In this one picture you see both ends of the spectrum: a beautiful creature from Qatar's diverse avifauna, and a rusting metal pipe - tell-tell sign of the endless construction work.
