Merops philippinus
About 25 cm length. Very fast flier. They glides slowly, and when a bee is seen make a very fast dash to catch it with their beak. Then returns to the perch to soften and break the exoskeleton before gulping the prey down. Spectacular aerobatic fliers!!
Spotted near my apartment as a group of about 10 individuals.
