So far, throughout the research I've done into Birds, the Gruccione, Merops apiaster, European Bee-eater has stuck in my mind the most down to sheer beauty. Its feathers fade from a turquoise at the bottom of the wings to a auburn orange and burgundy on its back and neck, I think a bird that's so delicate and colourful has to be used to represent the range of Imaginative colours.
