YANGON, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Myanmar's Bago Division. Just a two-hour drive from Yangon, this scenic wetlands reservoir is a wildlife shelter for both resident and migratory waterbirds.

Take a look at the Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters seen at the sanctuary. As the name suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch.
