These adorable birds are one of the 2 migrant bee-eaters in Sri Lanka. They stay in Sri Lanka mostly in winter. According to eBird data, Blue-tailed bee-eaters are at their highest numbers in November, reduce in March and are mostly not present until September. They migrate from the north and then settle here for the winter. Later in May they migrate back to the north to breed.
