A super shot, Eric, of a beautiful little bird.
I'm continually amazed how often birds zip into dangerous landings such as this, and apparently don't impale themselves on those lethal-looking spikes.

Eric - This is awesome. It looks so much like a bee eater ?
Thanks Shreeni...it is a beautiful bird but is overshadowed by its cousin, the Lilac Breasted Roller. I do believe despite it not being a bee eater that it is an insectivore that eats all manner of bugs.

I agree, but maybe they have learned to do this to avoid predators or just because they can

Very cool capture, Eric.

Ah, yes, Chris...I took a little bit of poetic license. Bono the singer/front man of the rock and roll band U2 from the UK...A stretch I'm afraid but it was late
Glad you liked the pix in any event.

I wouldn't know a Bee Eater from a hub-cape, but I know what I like and this is it... Sweet Job...
Thanks so much and I agree, not knowing the type doesn't change our appreciation of their beauty.

The perch adds further interest to the image.
Very creative though extra points for that 
Top notch shot buddy, no nits, no gripes, no errors
