Blue tailed Bee eater / Jacobin Cuckoo

Merops philippinus / Clamator jacobinus

Description:

And now they are together... See spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/127... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/127...

Habitat:

Yala National Park, Sri Lanka Yala combines a strict nature reserve with a national park. Divided into 5 blocks, the park has a protected area of nearly 130,000 hectares of land consisting of light forests, scrubs, grasslands, tanks and lagoons. One block is currently opened to the public. Situated in Sri Lanka’s south-east hugging the panoramic Indian Ocean, Yala was designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1900 and was designated a national park in 1938. Ironically, the park was initially used as a hunting ground for the elite under British rule. Yala is home to 44 varieties of mammal and 215 bird species.

Notes:

Both these birds have their own spotting page, but they are also so nice together that I just had to post these pictures too. What is the policy on this?
