03 June 2023, Brandenburg, Seelow: A bee-eater (Merops apiaster) sits in the branches. With its colorful plumage, the bee-eater is a distinctive bird. It is also considered a beneficiary of climate change. As a heat-loving bird, the bee-eater breeds in warm and sunny, open areas. For its breeding burrows, it needs break-off edges in the landscape.
