Little Bee Eater

This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly coloured, slender bird. It has green upper parts, yellow throat, black gorget, and rich brown upper breast fading to buffish ocre on the belly. The wings are green and brown, and the beak is black. It reaches a length of 15-17 cm, which makes it the smallest African bee-eater. Sexes are alike. Often silent, their call is a soft seep.

The Little Bee Eater is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
