Bee-eater and Hoopoe

Both species are incuded into order of Coraciiformes. This group of birds is characterized e.g. for its colourful plumage, and also not significant sexual dimorphism. That is why females are as colourful as males. Eggs are usually white, and nestlings - blind and most often naked. Birds from order of Coraciiformes are model parents; they look after their offspring together. You may admire beutifully coloured bee-eater and impressive crest of hoopoe on pictures of Cezary Korkosz.
