The Arabian Green Bee-eater is a charming bird, closely resembling its African counterpart but endemic to the Arabian Peninsula. It features bright green plumage, a blue chin, and a characteristic black eye-stripe.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, found in arid and semi-arid habitats, including wadis, cultivated areas, palm groves, and shrublands.
How to spot
Its small size requires keen eyes, but its vibrant color helps it stand out. Look for it perching on exposed branches, fences, or wires, making short, quick flights to catch insects. Its soft 'trrr' call is often heard.
When to spot
Present throughout the year in its resident range. Best seen during the day, especially when insect activity is high.
