Today I present to you the bee-eater which will come to enlarge my feathered art collection


You might have seen a few elements of this collection in recent weeks,

especially when I was creating birds according to @nelinoeva's contest themes,

or when I created gifs to announce the FF contests or during special days such as Valentine's Day

But back to our Bee-Eater ...

and let's start with some details of its realization ...

The shape of the bee-eater's beak is really very characteristic πŸ˜‰

These illustrations have been digitally made in Procreate, using the pastel brush, which means hours of fun with colors and patterns on my Ipad 😁

and here is now the 30 sec animated version of its creation :

As usual, 10 % of my feathered art's posts rewards goes to Feathered Friends community,

----> You can also set the community as beneficiary of your post if you want to support it πŸ˜‰

Now to the quick challenge I want to propose to you, bird lovers :

If you have a picture of bee-eater (must be your own photo of course), show it in the comments and I will gift you with 30 Ecency points and an upvote,
if I see a nice participation to this matching challenge, I will probably make it something with prizes to win, so don't hesitate to participate and make the community be joyfully enlivened

Wonderful as always, these birds are like coming from a fairly land.
I have just few shots of bee-eaters when they flew above and I have used the photos in a post last year. I hope I will see them again this year too.
Here is one of these shots.

Bee-eaters are very colorful birds. I was lucky to spot the small flock.

You have amazing skills! My drawing skills are at the level of a 2 year old child 😁. Here's a bee eater for you: it's a little green bee eater, Merops orientalis, straight from Sri Lanka. Cheers!

My mama @buckaroo says that you draw the most unusually spectacular art. I love to colour in. All the rainbow colours. Your art is beautiful because you use so much colour! We have little sun birds here on our homestead they are bright green. I hope they don't eat our bees. Yours are so pretty @barbara-orenya

I'm happy you enjoy it @buckaroobaby !
thank_you_snail.png for your sweet appreciation 😘
Here is a cute dragon and his bird friend to colour with all the rainbow colors πŸ˜‰

Tell your mom @buckaroo to print it for you

What a beautiful rendition, Barbara @barbara-orenya! I have never seen a bee-eater, they are not distributed to this part of Mother Earth, so I will be satisfied with what I see on these pages.

I do so love the way you have been patterning your subjects! So very interesting and fun! Havea wonderful week ahead!

Bisous! Bisous!

I've never seen one in real either my dear, but it seems they are in my part of the world...LoL...thank you much my dear and bisous bisous !

The picture is great for design 😍

Thank you @phuong.sitha ^_^

You bee-eater is beautiful! What a fun challenge! I wish we had bee-eaters here, I've never seen one.

Thanks my dear πŸ˜‰ Do you think it might be challenging to get bee-eaters pictures..? 😁
According to wikipedia

The bee-eaters have an Old World distribution, occurring from Europe to Australia. The centre of diversity of the family is Africa, although a number of species also occur in Asia. Single species occur in each of Europe, (the European bee-eater), Australia (the rainbow bee-eater) and Madagascar (the olive bee-eater, also found on mainland Africa)

so no wonder you didn't see them in your part of the world apparently...

I think it's a great idea for a challenge and will be fun to see the bee-eaters this week! We don't all have the same opportunities for bird photos, but will join in when we can!
