Blue-tailed bee-eater | Blauschwanzspint | Guêpier à queue d'azur

            Being migratory birds in Singapore, Blue-tailed bee-eaters can be found throughout the Northern winter months, but some of them also stay through the Northern summer.  They show very similar behavior to the European bee-eaters - catching insects, squeezing them with their bills until the insect gives up, sometimes hammering them against their perch to stun or kill them and finally throwing them into the air to catch before they swallow them.
