Antino, Love the pose of the Bee-eater on the right as well as your composition. Seems to be a tad bright overall IMO. The background really complements the birds. There seems to be a size difference. Could the left one be an offspring? Thanks for positing this image, I really enjoy it.

Wonderful shot, and what a strange pose the one on the right strikes, as if holding on somehow to it's tail ! Very attractive colors as well ! Cheers, hans

Antino YES they have this stability problem because of the way there feet are (slightly clumbsy also in landing on the ground)
You caught this fantastically :toast: :toast:
