Beautifully shot. These creatures are no larger than palm size. You must be positioned near. Did it land in your backyard?

Thank you, much appreciate your comment.

I was on a walk through the coastal forest on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. Two Bee-eaters landed in the tree in front of me no more than 5 metres away,  I managed to get the shot before they took off again. 

Bee-eaters & Kingfishers are right up there among my most favourite birds.

Here's a Malachite Kingfisher (Corythornis cristatus) from the same walk. He's about the size of my small finger, even smaller than the Bee-eaters.

Both Kingfisher & Bee eaters are my favourite BIF subjects. They're colourful plus their sleek shape in flight makes them popular subjects of many photographers. They're also challenging to capture in BIF due to their size and speed. In relation to the closer distance often required between photographer & subject due to the size of the bird means managing the flyby speed at closer distance a greater challenge than capturing a bigger bird at a longer distance.

This one is with Sigma 24-70 and SL2. This is not a sunset or sunrise picture. It was a very interesting experience that day. In the morning, Yosemite had great weather, sun was harsh, air was dry. Around the mid of afternoon, everything changed, strong wind blow lots of smoke from a site 100 mile away that instantly cover the sun and put valley in orange, pink color. After wind settle, I captured this image. It was a surreal experience.

I just looked that bird up on Wikipedia; is it really 36 Centimeters long? Size of a crow?

HI Jeffry- Thank you for your comments. These Rollers are nowhere near the size of a crow, they're not more than 18-20cm long. They have very long twin tail feathers which are included in the overall measurement. You can see the tail feathers in the image.

Best

Mike
