Hailed as "China's most beautiful little bird," a blue-throated bee-eater was spotted in Nanchang, Jiangxi, on May 24. A second-level nationally protected wild animal, the bee-eater has a particular fondness for bees and excels at mid-air hunting – as agile as a swallow yet as fierce as a tiger. Every summer, they migrate to elsewhere for courtship, showcasing their skills by catching bees and performing dazzling aerial displays through the branches while in romantic pursuit.
