Most commonly known as Gyurgyalag in Hungary, where this stamp is from (18).
These birds are strong migrators, flying in small flocks from the European continent to sub-Saharan Africa or India for the winter (19).
The European Bee-Eater breeds in holes in sandpits, riverbanks and quarries (20). The young are fed in the nest not just by their parents but also by helpers that are usually the offspring from a previous brood (20).
The call is a pleasant distinctive trill (19). Both sexes look alike (19).
