This pretty coloured Bee-eater Avas very common on the Dinder, 
where it Avas seen always in flocks. I found the nesting colonies at Abu- 
Hashim in the steep cleft of the riverside, searching trough many of the 
hollows, those which were visited by the birds, but the nests were all empty, 
Avhereas this fact the birds were perching on a tree above my head Avithout 
any anxiety, even after shooting they remain motionless on their places 
the killed ones dropped down only.

This fine bird I first met with on 28th January near El-Erediba, 
was flying above a durrah field, then I saw these birds everywhere on the 
whole way mostly perching in pairs on solitary trees.
