A wonderful postcard of a European bee-eater sent to me from Poland. The photo really explains the bird's name! The diet of these birds is 69%-82% bees, however they eat less than 1% of the bee population in the area. One bird can eat up to 250 bees a day.
A beautiful mini sheet 'Birds of Poland' issued by Poczta Polska.

the bird mini-sheet is truly stunning :)
