European bee-eater, the Great Traveler 

Every year, with the arrival of spring, the European bee-eater (Merops apiaster) faces a journey of thousands of kilometers, from South Africa to reach southern Europe and Italy, starting this difficult and exhausting journey with the sole purpose of reproducing. With the end of August, when the pullets have already taken off, will be the time to leave again and the first trip for the newborns. Those who succeed in the enterprise will return the following year to restart the cycle of life.
