A bedraggled male Red-bearded Bee-eater perched on a small liane having caught a large bee on a wet day in the forest in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Western Thailand. The Red-bearded Bee-eater (Nyctyornis amictus) is a large species of bee-eater found in the Indo-Malayan sub-region of South East Asia. This species is found in openings in patches of dense forest. Like other bee-eaters, they are colourful birds with long tails, long decurved beaks and pointed wings. They are large, predominantly green birds, with a red colouration to face that extends on to the slightly hanging throat feathers to form the “beard”.
